The basic premise of the film is that a time account is physically linked to every infant at birth, with death automatic when the balance drops to zero.
The protagonist is given a certain amount of time as an infant, and as a young boy adds days and years to his time account by buying valuables from people and selling them to visiting tourists from the rich enclave.
He gets there and meets a beautiful older woman who co-opts him into the immortal lifestyle.
