Over a single day's walk, a son of forty and his father, thirty years older, talk their way through their lives. Instead of arguing they trade stories, of which both have an endless supply, and through them show who they are. Because they trust each other, old wrongs come up as well, and with the distance of years each can explain himself and correct a picture that time has bent.
