The story
An angelic-looking but selfish and ruthless young man wanders from crime to crime without the slightest remorse.

While the film registers shock at its protagonist's absolute amorality, it also presents him as part of a bitterly divided and pessimistic culture. The world of "Satan" is one in which nothing really works, and therefore anything goes.
