The protagonist of the film is a middle-aged man who, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, in almost total solitude, takes care of his ailing mother. Closed in the circle of simple, everyday activities, cut off from his family and life he led so far, he fills slowly the reality of the old woman whom he loves with endless love.
