Jelovšek never had any trouble with his occasional escapades or with his image of himself as an honest, sensible man, until his wife Nives died. Then, to his own surprise, life begins: in the depths of mourning his heart suddenly turns light-headed and free, and he realises how long he wasted away in the shadow of his dominant, attractive, mysterious and cool wife. Knowing that his own days are numbered, he wants to use every minute of a new love, yet he cannot stop chasing a dark secret that Nives may have taken with her to the grave. Then letters from the dead woman begin to appear on his computer.
