A Polish soldier settles on a small island, where he operates a lighthouse. Absorbed by reading, he does not fulfill his duties.

One day in the life of a Vietnamese village, from crowing roosters to the end of a busy day. Time seems to have flown here continuously for hundreds of years. However, the place no longer exists - it has been consumed by the fire of the Vietnam War.
