Two lonely people meet on an old balcony. A man who would like to play some gin and a woman who just wants to spend some time. They are both on their own. Their children live far away, if they have children at all. And so it goes from Sunday to Sunday. The gin game. The woman keeps winning, although she does not care. The man loses, although he wants to win. Good dialogue and strong characters create an iconic picture of two vastly different people, who in their youth would probably not have bothered to look at each other. This situation makes them equal, letting both retain their personal pasts. Conflicts and reconciliation. Reconciliation and conflicts.
