A man, a Kafka-like character, is locked in between four. walls. The setting is poor: table, chair, some youth-pictures. He is completely isolated, there is no communication with the outside world. Every attempt to get into contact with outside fails. A mechanical Faust slings him back into isolation. The end: despair, resignation and pessimism.
