A psychological drama reflecting the existential anxiety and moral dilemmas of a seemingly successful, thirty-year-old engineer with an attractive wife and a good job in a project office, who - despite all this - attempts suicide. This disconcerting story of a deep psychological crisis of a man looking for his freedom and for his true self becomes a penetrating analysis of the desolate state of the whole society.
