An introverted garbageman writes his thoughts in a notebook after Henry Fool, writer and ex-con, rents the basement and gives him a notebook and the idea. He writes poetry and Henry helps him along.
Murnau says
Hal Hartley's story of a garbage man turned poet and the drifter who talks him into it. Deadpan, funny, a little filthy, and it won Best Screenplay at Cannes. The kind of tape clerks press into people's hands.
