Small Apartments

Franklin Franklin is a reclusive man living in a rundown apartment building, where he spends his days watching his neighbours and dreaming of Switzerland. His routine collapses when he accidentally kills his landlord and is left with a body on the kitchen floor that he must somehow conceal. The effort to cover up what happened brings him into contact with an assortment of odd characters, among them a suspicious neighbour who notices everything and a mother and teenage daughter across the street whom Franklin observes from his window. Matters grow more complicated when his brother dies, setting Franklin on a journey that promises a fortune.
