A psychological study of a successful man, completely devoted to his professional work, for whom the first vacation in years becomes an opportunity to reflect on the illusory value of civilizational progress, opposed to the purity and harmony of the natural world, and to compare his own life with the model of others. Stefan is in charge of the construction of a large investment. He fears imminent old age. He visits a friend who lives in a mountain solitude. They witness a tragic accident - a young mountaineer falls off a cliff. They bring help. Stefan notices the emptiness of his family life. His wife wants to leave him, he still believes in the possibility of saving their marriage. During a trip together they get into a car accident. An encounter with Stefan's son, Andrew, occurs, forcing him to make a harsh assessment of his life.
