1944 год, Будапешт. Осенним вечером в небольшом трактире четыре старых приятеля – часовщик, книготорговец, столяр и хозяин заведения – проводят время за графином домашнего вина и разговорами о житейских пустяках. За стенами трактира – комендантский час и разгул нилашистского террора, внутри – островок стабильности и спокойствия. Приятели утешают себя тем, что, как люди маленькие, повлиять все равно ни на что не могут. Зато и упрекнуть себя им не в чем, их совесть чиста. Всего через сутки все четверо окажутся перед самым трудным выбором из возможных – когда сохранить человеческое достоинство можно будет только ценой жизни.
