An old man lives out his days in a solitary village. May be his daughter and his neighbor Ghenyk could recall his real name, others call him "The Beard". The daughter has emigrated to Italy, and the neighbor doesn't get what the Beard feels at heart. The Beard breeds hen, smokes cheep cigarettes, goes fishing, watches at the water, and waits for changes.Routine hurts him, and he thought the old age would be completely different from what he got. Suddenly he gets a rifle bullet... One moment - and everything will change. The Beard will disappear.
