Overview

The city at night. A bus stop. A drunken man is dozing there. A young woman approaches. He asks her for help—to pour some cognac into his mouth. He cannot do it himself; his hands are occupied holding a grenade with a pulled pin—a weapon he came to possess purely by accident. The young woman calls the police. While waiting for help to arrive, a dialogue unfolds between them.
