Synopsis

A young man-in-charge sadly watches the whirling of the city life around him. One evening he withdraws all cash from his money-box and sets off to taste life. He is charmed by women but lacks the courage to get closer to them. Late at night, he is joined by two girls and a young man. The man-in-charge treats them with wine and then expects to make love with one of the girls, who is wearing a postman's hat on her head. But before something can happen, the girl falls into a deep sleep. In the morning, the man-in-charge arrives to his office late and has to face the disdainful reaction of his colleagues.
