In a bourgeois home, an elderly man named Zbigniew is nearing the end of his life. To provide companionship and break the monotony of his decline, his wife brings a mysterious young man into their house. The stranger's presence acts as a catalyst during a stifling summer night. A strong emotional connection develops between the dying man and the visitor. This encounter allows Zbigniew to confront feelings he has kept quiet throughout his life. Aware of his limited time, he chooses this moment to reveal a deeply held secret about his personal identity that he had hidden for decades. This revelation impacts the couple's relationship, turning the night into a ritual of reflection, farewells, and final reconciliation with his true self.
