Heater is a movie that involves a very small plot, two homeless men trying to return a stolen heater. There is something more to it, the characters bring you in to the world of homeless people. There daily problems and strugels. It is a strange attraction to this story that made me watch it even when I was tired. All in all heater is a movie that can be enjoyed with some patience and beer.
