Klemen Jager owns a successful advertising agency and believes his business creates a world more perfect than the one most people live in. His own life looks just as perfect: success, a BMW, a wife of fifteen years for comfort and other women for pleasure, among them a young journalist and an Austrian. But at forty-five he is troubled by anxiety, by the deaths of his two best friends and by a body that seems to fail him despite the gym, and nightmares bring back the young man who once read Pascal. One day on his way to a business dinner he picks up a hitchhiker who turns out to be the daughter of an old university friend, and her home in the Goriška Brda hills shows him another way of seeing the world.
