On a deserted beach, on the last day of their stay at the seaside, a mature woman and a young man meet. He had been observing her for days, but only now has he dared to make their acquaintance. He persuades her to stay. She is internally burned out, burdened by war experiences and the loss of a loved one – a pilot – and full of bitterness and distrust. Despite their mutual attraction, they find themselves in a psychological deadlock, weighed down by the war period – a mysterious past (the young man can't find his footing in life, having tried various jobs) and an uncertain future.
