A young Polish - American man is confronted with a mysterious plague afecting a work colegue, his wife, maybe his father .
A sick of laugh, having at source a drawing in comedy newspaper. Richard is imune and his seriosity is the good explanation. But, in same measure, he becomes more and more alone, the job mates being too more interested by superficial things, his boss being too rigid, the wife preocuped only by his life - and, after her death , the loneliness having phisical aspect- , his father, affected by dementia, in a health house, being, in final, adept of laugh.
The basic virtue of film - admirable performance of Philip Ettinger in the role of Richard and the Franz Kafka touch of story.
