Description
Walter Faber, a middle-class engineer, believes in a rational, calculated world. However, his carefully constructed reality is disrupted by a series of strange events. An emergency landing in the desert, the sudden death of a friend, and a tragic love affair all challenge his worldview. As Faber's life begins to unravel, he is forced to confront the limits of his own understanding.
