Two men working as mine guards, live in an isolated cottage between the mountains. In order to withstand their solitude, they construct a world where objects have fundamental importance. The only reassuring presence in their lives are a little dog and a radio transistor and the vision of a woman which appears to them as she clamber up the mountain. At times the solitude is broken by a man bearing food supplies for their survival.
