Loneliness and search for the past bring two young people into an old port – former Königsberg city. After having found his friend, one of them understands that it is impossible to turn back the time – the present arouses bitterness and disappointment. Another man is destined to experience the feeling of closeness to the other. Empty quays, the abandoned cathedral, the railway station and hotel rooms in a choking city – it is a continuous escape from everything – from everyone and themselves.
