John Sorel rushes into his apartment after he has been shot in the leg during a revolutionary meeting. He is hidden by his wife Magda and his mother as the secret police enter after chasing him. Once the Police Agent has left, John packs his things to leave the country and tells Magda to look for a signal of his return. In the meantime, he advises her to go to the consulate to find help for them. At the consulate, Magda is forced to fill out endless paperwork and finds herself trapped in a never-ending cycle of bureaucracy. Magda spends numerous days at the consulate, and becomes worn out. At home, her son falls ill and passes. A friend finds Magda at the consulate and tells her that John is coming back for her. But when all hope seems to be lost, Magda sends word to John that there is no reason for him to return.
