A few months before the Ethiopian war. The Abyssinian army lays siege to a fort where the leaders of the tribes loyal to the Italians have taken refuge. The commander of the fort must hold out, and the situation is saved by the heroism of a sergeant who turns the tide of battle with the defeat of the Abyssinians.

A sculptor, in the company of a disciple, isolates himself in an underground room, no longer able to identify with a society without any value. His personal revolution is no longer to create anything, but simply to wait. However, he is forced to receive unwelcome visits that keep him in touch with the absurdities of the outside world. When he finally decides to go out to the surface, he will find a world worse than when he left it.
