Long after their years of conspiring against the dictatorship, two old acquaintances meet again at a rally against rulers who have broken their word to the people. The country is invented, and so is its continent: a Europe coming apart socially and politically. One of them leads the other to a church that holds a coffin, without revealing what lies inside. Until dawn the pair go over past and present, a woman each of them once loved and a rival she perhaps preferred, who sold them all out by serving every government in turn, whatever its colour, purely for his own ends.
