Bucharest at the turn of the twentieth century. Two minor clerks, Smotocea and Cotoccea, are nearly inseparable: they work together, spend their free time side by side, and share habits, expenses, and opinions about life. Their friendship offers a view of urban routines, human weaknesses, and shifting convictions, until an unexpected personal circumstance begins to disturb the balance that has long defined their companionship.
