Björn and Írena run a printing museum that has had no visitors for weeks while rain and a new pandemic grip the city. They pass time with coffee, small repairs and the neighbour's cat, ignoring the ghostly sounds of the presses. Írena lost her wife in the disease; Björn feels it has all happened before. An unexpected visitor is on the way.
