The paths of András', a genius computer-programmer - and a drug-addict for years - and Juli, an unsuccesful and less than ambitious young actress cross each other on a Budapest street, at a moment which marks probably the loneliest and most desperate period in their respective lives. On the spur of the moment, Juli agrees to move in with András to help him get rid of the habit. During the following couple of weeks spent locked up in András' flat, they go through the most miserable experience of human existence, the deepest depths of physical and psychological suffering and an almost devastating humiliation and fear, but all that - as their relationship develops - with an increasingly brightening ray of hope. And when finally the light appears at the end of the tunnel, they decide to fulfil András' childhood dream and travel to India.
