When a Roman plumber witnesses a man's fatal heart attack, he wonders if he himself might suffer the same fate. Looking back on his life, he decides he has not really experienced all there is to living. He quits his job and makes plans to broaden his life experience before he runs out of time. He goes out on the town at night, visits museums, reads books and catches up on technological advancements. After awhile, he laments that he might be too old to have started down a new path in life.
