When the lead violinist suddenly dies, Diego (Omero Antonutti) and Alvaro (Héctor Alterio) start making up for lost time. Diego spends an afternoon with a pretty escort while Alvaro takes a long overdue trip to the doctor. When a young violinist (Pierre Malet) suggests getting the group back together, his offer unravels a chain of unintended consequences.
