A mature and ill man, a medieval literature professor, has gone
over his personal life and has decided, amongst his doubts, what
he wants to leave others once he passes away. An inheritance in
the form of an essay, based on Llull's "The book of the Friend
and the Beloved", which he has saved in the memory of his personal
computer.
His best and oldest friend is bothered by an inheritance that could
be contaminated by the fear of death.
The best and most recent of his students does not want to be his
heir, as he wants to keep his dark and ambiguous freedom.
That best and oldest friend is married and has a daughter. He is
an almost happy man, as long as things go well, who is so and so
loved by his wife... Unfortunately, his daughter, on the other hand,
visits them to talk about a slight problem. But, who really needs
helps in the house-hold ?
The five characters, in gripping race against time, argue, struggle
and hurt each other, while at the same time they discover the roots
of their mutual love, their passion, and reconsider their future
well-nigh tragic consequences. A completely incomprehensible future,
but on which, depends salvation.
However incomprehensive this future, their salvation - in various
degrees - still depends on it.
