Gradually, Alain finds life in his 30s unbearable. Obsessed with the notion of suicide, Alain plans to stage his demise on July 23.

His doctor says it's time for Alain to leave the hospital but Alain feels more secure staying in his ward. Nevertheless he decides to go to Paris and tries to meet good old days' friends. At last he realizes that none of them can provide him with a reason to continue living.

改编自Pierre Drieu La Rochelle的同名小说。
