A man and two women, exhausted from rowing a boat without knowing exactly where they are going, begin to tell the story of their lives.

The second woman, egged on by the man, tells of her unenviable life. Desperate at being married to an alcoholic pianist who only played in cinemas, she abandoned her home. The man, a widower, confesses that he maintained relations with a married woman, later discovering that she had lepersy. Jumping into the water, the man tries to catch a barrel floating by.
