Winterstadt.

In a medium-sized town where life has settled down, a man roams through days and nights, indifferent to everything, as he believes. His domain is a bar, an empty apartment, and the paths between them. He can no longer be with others; it drives him away from people, and he can no longer be with himself; it disgusts him. He meets a younger woman who prefers to be on the move because the thought of having to be responsible for another person or for anything else frightens her.
