An old shaman asks the spirits to let him go. All his life he served people who demanded that their wishes be fulfilled - sometimes stupid, insignificant and causing harm to others.
No one ever asked him about the gods, about the meaning of life, about why people suffer. The shaman is disappointed in people - in their greed, anger, philistinism and baseness. He is tired. But there is a price to pay for everything - both for those hungry for fame, money, power and other people's husbands, and for the shaman who is forced to be a guide between people and spirits. And the price for leaving the service is death.
