The story of three people: a cyclo rider (a rickshaw pulled by a

bike), his sister and a gangster.

The gangster forces the cylco rider to join his gang. He also

forces the sister who is a water-carrier to become a

prostitute. He himself who is also a poet has some kind of

nervous breakdown.

There is a boy who is severely disabled and a guy who plays

guitar in a cafe has only one leg. The son of the woman who

runs the cyclo firm is mentally ill.

Reputedly a very good film.
