Axel, aged about 40, is a doctor, but has given up practicing his profession. Instead, he lives with his sister and her children, leading a life without enthusiasm. Most of the time, he simply does nothing except existing. One day, however, he meets a young, pregnant woman. A relationship develops, a kind of love, and they live together, like driftwood temporarily clinging on to each other. But Axel’s movements are hesitant and soon he goes to visit an old lover. There are things that are not easily perceptible in human life, but which are deeply felt.
