The son of Elena-Kirill died unknown how. The new socialist government decided to build a monument to him in the city. Elena doesn't need a monument. She wants to find her son's traitor. She gradually comes to understand who he is. With a gun in his bag, he heads for the traitor's house. There, she learns that the traitor is not among the living and understands the meaninglessness of his desire for revenge.—Georgi Djulgerov
