Plot synopsis
«The spoken word disappears, the written letter remains» states an old Latin saying. The young man, an artist, understood that his life is too short to squander it on social conventions, stable work, studies at the University, quarrels with his mother. Instead he tried to disappear and create his own world in which he did nothing but draw. He tried to forget about the passage of time but on the other hand desperately wanted to have enough time to complete everything he intended to do.
