Gordon Becomes a Tramp

Gordon and his family are on the train station in Copenhagen , on their way to their summer vacation in Spain . Suddenly the rest of the family have disappeared on a train. Have they forgotten Gordon!? Does he have to spend the night alone on the train station? But then he meets the homeless drug addict Klaus and this is the beginning of a quite unusual night …

"… Mindré gives a pure description of what Gordon actually sees and experiences, without trying to explain or provoke very powerful images. Within this frame, both the security guards’ hunt for the homeless intruders and the heroinaddict’s lonely hit in the night, are described."
