Rolf, a hemiplegic, spends his days dozing on a sofa bed in his dusty apartment. On television, he learns of a deadly pandemic sweeping the globe. When his nurse fails to visit him, Rolf realises that his survival is anything but certain.

Rolf, emiplegico, trascorre le sue giornate sul divano letto del suo appartamento polveroso. Guardando la TV, scopre che una pandemia mortale sta travolgendo tutto il mondo e quando il suo infermiere sospende le visite, Rolf si rende conto che è la sua stessa sopravvivenza a essere messa in questione.
