The Swiss Ivano Gagliardo is the archetypical modern rebel, revolting against society without having any social ideals of his own. Rather seeing himself as a hedonist, he prefers unemployment to work and devotes his days to rollerblading through the hilly streets of Lausanne, sometimes risking his life in the process. With virtuosity and often at breakneck speed, award-winning director Peter Entell follows Ivano on his dramatic descent down stairs, railings and escalators. An unobtrusive, captivating portrait of a romantic antihero.
