The story

In 1938, Dominic Matei, a 70-year-old professor of linguistics in Piatra Neamț, travels to Bucharest, where he met the love of his youth, Laura. Feeling that his fruitless search for the origin of human language has condemned him to a solitary, wasted life, Dominic wants to commit suicide. In Bucharest, he is struck by lightning.
