About

A young girl is found frozen to death: a story for the criminal column. Was it a natural death? That's what a policeman or an investigator will ask. What can we learn about her and how will those who met her by chance react? This is the subject of the drama Vagabond. Is it possible to paint a portrait of a girl who is so elusive and dismissive of everything? The camera hangs on Mona and captures the last two months of her journey to freedom. She hangs around. She pitches her tent by the garage and by the cemetery. She walks, mostly to the end of her strength.
