At the edge of a city, near the end of autumn, a group of people, struggling to survive the hardships of daily living, spends nights at a rental lodge for the poor. Some of them have long given up on life while others hold on to unrealistic dreams. One day, an old man arrives and stirs up new hopes in the hearts of these people who dwell at the lowest rungs of society. Or are these hopes merely the greatest lies in life?
