14A - Nudity, Mature Subject Matter

Kosmos is a thief who works miracles. No sooner does he arrive in a timeless border town than he rescues a small boy from drowning.

A rather uncommon person, Kosmos never appears to eat nor sleep. His single form of nourishment is the granulated or lump sugar he consumes by the fistful. He is also frank in declaring a wish that startles the townspeople: He is looking for love. Soon Kosmos and Neptün, the teenager sister of the rescued boy, grow closer in the most bizarre of ways: imitating the screech of birds in trees and on rooftops.

Following Kosmos’ arrival, there’s a sudden rash of robberies among the town’s smaller stores. Robberies and miracles follow in quick succession, and in a short time the townspeople learn that Kosmos has a gift of curing people. The afflicted and the sick troop off after him, yet a series of unpleasant incidents will lead to an inevitable confrontation.
