Sinopsis
Romulus Ledbetter se tambalea en la fina línea que separa la genialidad de la locura; aquel que en otros tiempos fue un reputado pianista, es ahora un indigente que vive en una cueva, en un parque de Manhattan. Asaltado por constantes alucinaciones, deberá luchar contra las trampas de su mente si quiere encontrar al asesino de un atractivo trotamundos, cuyo cuerpo congelado es hallado colgando de un árbol. Aunque la policía da carpetazo al caso sin descubrir al culpable, Romulus cree conocer al homicida: David Leppenraub, un prestigioso fotógrafo fascinado por los ángeles, para quien el joven vagabundo había posado como modelo en varias ocasiones. Pero, ¿Quién va a fiarse de la corazonada de un paranoico-esquizofrénico que habita en una cueva? ¿Quién osará poner en tela de juicio al gran David Leppenraub? (FILMAFFINITY)

Brothers Martin and Simon, not yet teens, are incorrigible vandals; Martin runs away from reform school, Simon from foster homes, and they always find each other in a seacoast town of Lignan, where their destructive behavior is infamous. (It may date to their mother's leaving the family.) Martin is philosophical, romantic, and poetic: he dreams of being the son of a shark; he holds tight to a book about goldfish his mother gave him. In both halting and wild ways, he tries to court Marie, a neighbor girl. Simon, with a pocketknife and an intractable will, seems more dangerous to others. What, on earth, is there for these children-becoming-men?
