Andreas Ramsfjell observes a couple's strange, passionless kiss in a subway station. Reflecting on how he arrived at this moment, he recalls being dropped off in a peaceful city by a bus after a mysterious welcome in the desert. Given a job as an accountant with simple accommodations, Andreas shaves and prepares for his first day at work. In his small, minimalist office, he diligently punches numbers and takes a break to eat lunch on a nearby bench.
