 On the day before Christmas a man is being interrogated, suspected of murder. We hardly know anything about him and we don t understand why he is been taken in for interrogation. Because the suspect stubbornly refuses to answer any questions, the assistant inspector brings in a typewriter - an Olivetti 82. That way he can type out his own story. After all he s a writer, isn t he ? Gradually the man starts telling us the story of his life - asearch for love and security.  Olivetti 82  pictures the descent into an ordinary man s life. Step by step we find out about his tragic past.
