A philosophy professor is interrogated by the police because she is said to have planned an assassination. Her interrogation by an inspector turns into a war of words with a metaphysical dimension: it is about good and evil, rich and poor, distribution of goods and surveillance, the necessity of protest and its turning into violence, the opposition of the need for security and freedom, and finally the question of the economic and spiritual roots of terror. But the conversation must not lose itself in dead ends, for above it hovers the mercilessly ticking clock: will the bomb go off at midnight on Christmas Eve, of all nights, or not?
