In order to write, a forty five year-old writer isolates himself in his former wife's country house οn an island. During his stay in the "country house", a farmer disappears. Conjectures about his death lead the police to attribute the crime to a pair of illicit lovers who meet secretly in the store-room of the country house. The events activate the writer's imagination and embroil him in the story, as he unwittingly provides evidence for the police. When the case is cleared up it will shed light οn unknown aspects of the heroes' lives and will settle long-pending scores as the hypocrisy of a whole world is revealed.
