Kaspar Hauser (played by Bruno S.) lived in a lightless basement since childhood, surviving only on scarce water and bread, until decades later, when as an adult, he was brought out of the basement and saw the outside world for the first time. However, the nightmare did not end; he had merely fallen from one hell to another. In the eyes of people, Kaspar was not a fully-fledged human being, but merely a subject for study and entertainment. Initially, people were curious about him, and some of that curiosity contained malice. Gradually, everyone lost interest in this dull and pitiable object, and Kaspar was sent to a circus. After various struggles, Kaspar was finally taken in by a scholar, allowing him to live a peaceful and safe life. The scholar taught him to read and write, opening another door for him to understand the world. Unexpectedly, Kaspar had exceptionally keen and profound insights into civilization and culture, and his sharp and straightforward language angered humans who felt hit where it hurt.
