In a home proudly named Silverville, where natural death is a frequent, if unwelcome, guest, one morning one of the residents is found seriously injured. The director, who sweeps inconveniences and shortcuts in the functioning of the private facility under the carpet, does the same this time and conceals the incident from the police. However, the investigation starts unofficially and covertly: it is taken up by a former judge who is eager to track down the perpetrator on his own. The three story lines bring a succession of surprising revelations, playing out a range of human destinies, relationships, desires, passions, all concentrated in a single place, and the actual tracking down of the perpetrator is only the final brushstroke in the painting of human existence in its last phase, which awaits each of us.
