Before leaving for Paris, her daughter decides to find a nurse for a lonely 80-year-old father who is already old and in need of care. However, the stubborn old man rejects any proposed candidate and every day more and more loses touch with reality, plunging into illness. He begins to doubt his loved ones, his own mind and even the structure of his reality - as if the world for a moment ceased to be logical.
