Cesare is an old and solitary man. One evening, his neighbor asks him to look after her son Kadim for the night. Eager to undertake the responsibility, Cesare takes good care of Kadim; also sharing with him pieces of his own past. As a delicate connection unfolds between the old man and his guest, the film sheds light on different aspects of the human condition.
