1944 год, Будапешт. Осенним вечером в небольшом трактире четыре старых приятеля – часовщик, книготорговец, столяр и хозяин заведения – проводят время за графином домашнего вина и разговорами о житейских пустяках. За стенами трактира – комендантский час и разгул нилашистского террора, внутри – островок стабильности и спокойствия.
