Ruba, an artist grappling with severe depression, lives with her retired military father. At noon, after she finishes cleaning the apartment, she confides in him about her intention to commit suicide in a few hours. The two engage in conversations about the past, family, and death, touching upon the loss of the mother. Amidst the ordinary activities of their day, such as preparing lunch and listening to music, the father struggles to dissuade his daughter from taking such a tragic step. Eventually, she seizes his gun and retreats to her room.
