Joe Lazlo

Joe Lazlo grows up without anything to account for in a world that doesn’t understand him, since he is the only human survivor of the planet. Joe can’t find any comfort in his uniqueness, which is precisely what makes him a prized trophy. So, just as “Lazarillo de Tormes” he goes from one master to another, and once he learns from them enough to fend for himself, he escapes.
After spending some time living the vagrant’s life he begins his criminal life in the suburbs.
In order to survive and earn the respect he believes he deserves, he’ll have to undertake some of the most dangerous tasks. The dream and the hope to find someone like him are always beside him and thus the possibility to discover what it means to be a human being.
