In a Swiss resort at the foot of the Alps, surrounded by silence, beauty and luxury, two elderly friends are vacationing. Englishman Fred Ballinger, a famous composer and conductor, withstands a diplomatic siege by the royal envoy, stubbornly refusing to perform at a concert at the personal request of Elizabeth II. American director Mick Boyle has no way to finalize the production of his latest film Testament, on which he is working with a team of young colleagues. The friends reflect on the past and the future, and keep a close eye on their own children and other hotel guests. Beneath the façade of inert splendor, passions boil, dramas play out - life does not allow passive participation and, despite the venerable years, draws the contemplators into its cruel and beautiful maelstrom.
