Description: "Between one casual job and another, all on unconditional terms, Joshua dreams of one day - and preferably soon - of being a famous poet; One who is talked about, interviewed, the subject of films about his life. Meanwhile, in a small apartment he has a hard time paying for, he types his poetry at night on an antique typewriter (he turns on the computer just to watch pornography), and during the day he plans what he will do with the huge down payment he will get, even before fame. He switches jobs, grits his teeth during them and dreams at the same time. In order for his book of poems to be published he will do anything, unless his conscience stops him. But what happens to him when he meets a sensual dancer who makes a living from strip shows at private events? Will it distract him from his path or, conversely, help him realize his big dream?" --
