Teodoro Maus, the director of 'The Man on the Empire State', depicts the fantasies and nightmares of a refugee in New York in a combination of absurd and realistic images. The main character, played by Norman Briski, is a man driven by ideals and afflicted with a degree of naivity. He hides in the small room on top of the Empire State Building, having fled from South America where he had fought against injustice in his own country and now he takes refuge in New York. Here too he wants 'to improve this small world just a little'. However he does not leave the small room he has shut himself up in. On his own in his 'glass house', he can't or won't adapt to the social jungle in New York. He stays in his room and lives in his own world. In the end he cannot survive and disappears in clouds of smoke from the room, watched by his former comrades.
