A disturbing story about twenty four hours in the life of Kuba (Gustaw Holoubek) – an alcoholic who resolves for the last time to quit drinking.  Kuba is at home, waiting for his fiancée, who is supposed to take him to a doctor in the afternoon. There, he is left alone with his weakness – his irresistible compulsion to get drunk. Suspended for a couple of hours in the peculiar state of waiting for his fiancée, hope for a change and an atmosphere of overwhelming memories, he wanders through the city, attempting not to drink. Kuba surrenders to his addiction again.
