Together with his moving squad, the furniture packer Walter, an aged former weightlifter, is supposed to evict tenants from an apartment. When the door of the old building opens, he believes he recognizes the young father as his son, whom he abandoned years ago. It’s the beginning of a cautious approach and a momentous attempt to rescue the young family from danger.
