Abstract
An aging music teacher is planning an outing with her grandson to a festival gathering, organized on the occasion of Ascension Day on a suburban elevation. A young doctor from the Old People's House in the town is looking forward to the festival to convey important news to her intimate partner. An unemployed driver is also waiting for the Ascension Day, because he has been hired by a bus firm for an extra course to the festival gathering. A doctor is getting ready for a passionate supper with his female neighbour. But will he be in time for the supper, wouldn't anything extraordinary take place? Won't the bus driver have problems? Will the Doctor manage to hold the conversation, which is so important? Aren't the music teacher and her grandson going on a risky outing? Her friend - a photographer - gets into a small and unseemly coffee house with a photo, he has taken of her and on which light has produced an amazing impression on her hands. And while showing the photo to the barman and the only customer, he tells the news, which he has just learnt and which is already resounding in the town....
