On a rainy vacation day in a hotel room in Yugoslavia, a 40-year-old father and his adolescent daughter are bored. In the free-flowing surroundings, the dreams he once had in his youth come back to life in him. The game becomes almost serious. Only the presence of his daughter makes him realize that there is no way to start a new life without acting irresponsibly towards his child. And so he is left with a quiet resignation and the hope that his daughter will do better one day.

William mène une vie volontairement en marge, en travaillant dans un bowling et subsistant de petits larcins, ce qu’il cache à Noëlle, une fille de bonne famille, avec laquelle il engage une relation malgré tout ce qui les sépare. La jeune femme est épiée par un apprenti policier, dont elle refuse les avances. William affronte son rival et chasse Noëlle, chacun reprenant sa vie.
