Gócza Menyhért and his brother-in-law, Fodor András, meet at a baptism ceremony in a village. Through their characters the film presents two different types of intellectual behaviour and makes a contrast between them. After the ceremony they recall their personal histories. Gócza, the successful and popular sculptor has been giving up his old dreams one by one. He was considered to be a traitor even in his childhood; he was once tied to a tree as a punishment. Fodor, the reserved school headmaster has, however, remained faithful to his principles in spite of the years he had had to spend in prison for them. He now recalls that in those years, Menyhért left him in the lurch. The drinks and the memories evoke the failures of their lives: Menyus suffers from his own inferiority, while András bears his indolence. The two men attack each other fiercely.
