The guests who come to the mansion of aristocratic landowner and man of the world Nikolai over the Christmas holidays are hand-picked. Among them is a politician, a young countess and a general with his wife. They dine and discuss the right form of authority, progress and morality, death and the Antichrist. As the debate becomes more heated, cultural differences become increasingly apparent. In the end, everyone will become a victim of his or her own discourse.
