Synopsis

Une nuit, au Liban, le docteur Walter est réveillé dans sa résidence de Tripoli pour qu’il examine une femme souffrante, madame Bortak. Sans l’ausculter, il la dirige vers l’hôpital et apprend le lendemain qu’elle est décédée faute de soins appropriés de la part de l'interne de garde. Dès lors, Walter va être l’objet d’attentions étranges du veuf, monsieur Bortak, qui semble le suivre à la trace, allant jusqu'à régler à sa place ses consommations personnelles dans les boîtes de nuit. Walter, se sentant redevable de la sollicitude témoignée par Bortak, le retrouve au moment où celui-ci a décidé de se retirer du monde pour s’en aller vivre chez une parente dans un coin perdu du pays. Walter lui propose de l’y conduire en voiture…

After World War II, he has no qualms in applying these skills and is arrested for murder. Convicted and condemned to death, he is held in a prison cell with other murderers sentenced to death. Men to be guillotined are taken out at night, so they wait in fear and only sleep after dawn.
