A short study of a life crisis, the journey out of its grip, and the encounters that occurred along the way. Mirek experiences one life crisis after another: his wife leaves him, his doctor informs him of a serious illness, and he loses the strength to cope with the reality of his situation. He tries various approaches, but it is only a seemingly trivial encounter with a fisherman that causes a shift in his view of the world and he regains his original confidence.
