The old, worn-out comedian Svetlovidov has fallen asleep drunk in his dressing room after his last performance. Now he wanders the empty stage at night. He is joined by the young prompter Ivanyc, who has no home and secretly uses the theater as a place to sleep. Together, the old actor reflects on his life - a rather bleak life summary. He thinks aloud about the great roles of world literature and makes the young Ivanyc, who is in his precarious situation, his playing partner out of necessity. Over time, the game between the old Svetlovidov and Ivanyc transforms into a conflict-laden father-son relationship. The authority of the "father" Svetlovidov crumbles before the resistance of the "son" Ivanyc. Chasms of misunderstanding, mutual rejection, and disappointment open up between them. The time of the old man seems to be inevitably coming to an end, allowing the boy to take his place. Ivanyc seizes his chance - using the means of theater!
