Mortuary assistant Erich is trying to get his daughter Julia on the phone — without success. Attentively, he drives around the small town until he spots Julia and her friends on a girls‘ night out. An argument breaks out. They part ways.

In order to reestablish a closer relationship with his daughter so as to help her understand the true meaning of life, he comes up with the idea to convey his world view to her, by giving her an antique ring of symbolic meaning. When they make plans to meet, he wants to seize the opportunity to give her the ring.
