At a Swiss resort at the foot of the Alps, surrounded by peace, beauty, and luxury, two elderly friends are vacationing. Englishman Fred Ballinger, a renowned composer and conductor, is enduring a diplomatic siege from the royal envoy, stubbornly refusing to perform at a concert at the personal request of Elizabeth II. American director Mick Boyle is struggling to finish the production of his latest film, "The Testament," which he is working on with a team of young colleagues. The friends reflect on the past and future, closely observing their own children and other hotel guests. Beneath the façade of inert decorum, passions simmer and dramas unfold—life does not allow for passive participation and, despite their advanced years, draws the onlookers into its cruel and beautiful whirlpool.
