Die Legende vom heiligen Trinker

Andreas is a homeless man in Paris. He sleeps under the Seine bridges, keeping warm with old newspapers instead of a blanket. He is a drinker, indeed a heavy drinker. An encounter with a stranger who lends him two hundred francs sets off a chain of small miracles: a warm meal, a thorough shave, a meeting with a lost love and an old friend - and time and again, alcohol. An unorthodox saint, a melancholic and reconciliatory legend, which Joseph Roth referred to as his testament.
