Sirens of the Street

A street casted actor who is homeless in Frankfurt, Germany is living his daily poor life until the last scene where he sits in a car and enjoys life.

The movie is about the perception of homeless people and they way the viewers(society) thinks. Showing a homeless guy in his us known habits without questioning it and not recognizing him clearly in the images reflects our ways of thinking until the last scene where he sits in a car and enjoys the view from the window. In that moment the viewer is confronted with his own ways of thinking because he questions this scene and the reasons why he is sitting in a car. The question in the room: why is a homeless guy sitting in a car? Is the plot and the reflection itself of our perception of foreign people compromised in a single simple ironic scene that brings reflection and confusion? Just a guy in car. Questioning that allows us to realize and expose our systems of thinking.
