Film Synopsis

One evening in Beirut, a renowned surgeon named Walter receives an unexpected visit at his home from a stranger, Bortak, and his sick wife.  Walter refuses to examine the ill woman, insisting that they should seek medical help at the hospital several miles away.  The next morning, when he arrives at the hospital Walter is notified that Mrs Bortak died in the course of an operation.  That evening, Walter is relaxing at a nearby nightclub when he has a chance encounter with Bortak.  Instead of reacting hostilely towards the surgeon Bortak pays for his drinks and offers a cordial invitation to his home.  Things take a sinister turn when, a short while later, Walter is asked by a man to attend to a sick person in the village some distance away in the mountains.  On the way back, the surgeon finds that his car has been put out of action.  As he makes the journey back home on foot Walter soon runs into Bortak, who has been waiting for him...
