In a shantytown, a man is distraught by his family's situation. His mother went insane, his ill wife suffers from malnutrition, his brother always causes problems, his sister is a prostitute serving American soldiers and his child wants a pair of new rubber shoes. Supporting all of them with his meager salary, he is so full of worries that he has no time to spare to have his decayed tooth treated. While his family goes deeper and deeper into extreme misery, his mind wanders aimlessly not knowing what to do.
