Janos works at the post office, is fond of astronomy and helps his uncle-musical man who is convinced: musical harmony, which arose in the 17th century thanks to the composer Andreas Verkmeister and preserved to this day, is wrong and false. And if there is no real harmony in music - it is not in the world, and in the existence of an individual, and in the life of the provincial Hungarian town. Janosh sees that an atmosphere of fear, hatred and madness is thickening around, that the city is on the threshold of a great inevitable trouble.
