The story sets into the ruins of a deserted village, surrounded with an old wall, where lives only a man of 40 years old. He has no name. During the day, he works like an animal into the ruins, the night, he sleeps like a primitive in a cave. The winter, he goes out of the cave early and walks far away, in deserted fields, in order to find sheep and cow dirt for feeding his garden. In Springtime, the ruins of the village are grass-covered, he cultivates his garden and sows the seed. In summertime, he picks up little stones in the grass for building his house. In fall, he harvests a crop. His food comes from his own picking or from what he finds in another villages. He never speaks a word. Sometime, he speaks to himself. Sometime, he bursts into laughter. The bowl, the water keg and the other objects of everyday life are industrial waste. Day and night, month and year, he lives this way until his death in the cave or in the ruins or in the fields.
