A man who has long withdrawn from the world realizes that no sign of human presence reaches him anymore. He decides to seek the reason for this silence and discovers that the world is now deserted. After wandering for some time through this disorienting landscape, he begins to perceive unexpected manifestations—gradually becoming more and more evident—of a presence. In the end, he comes face to face with another self, observing and being observed. This unfolds in a paroxysmal crescendo.
