The clerk Karel dresses in an elegant manner, he pampers his beard and is proud of his cosy bachelor’s flat in Prague’s prestigious Lesser Town. His lifestyle reminds one of a faun enjoying one woman after another. But there are also moments of providence when Karel realizes that his beard is turning grey, he gets out of breath climbing the staircase, and the “beldams” he runs into in his neighbourhood are his contemporaries. The smug, self-conceited and egoistic faun does not work too eagerly and his boss – his former schoolmate – must repeatedly force him to find a lost and highly required file. The valetudinarian faun discovers it under the pillow of his office armchair only when his colleague Vlasta threatens him by getting haemorrhoids. The faun does not understand the young girls frequenting his flat any more and he even does not mind if it does not come to sex. He ignores both the platonic love of Vlasta and the rougher seducing of his boss. He is pleased by the envy of his married friend Josef who wants to imitate him and plans to seduce his young colleague, nicknamed Cipísek. The faun gets two concert tickets but has no one to accompany him. Although he meets a young and attractive visitor in the Rudolfinum concert hall, she laughs at his seduction. The faun is increasingly reminded that old age is marching towards him inexorably. Vlasta, disappointed, hands in her notice. The faun turns down Josef’s request to sign a paper documenting him as the father of the Cipísek’s child. The drunken faun sets off to a housing estate to find Vlasta. He succeeds but fails to appropriately accept her declaration of love. The offended woman calls her boss who eventually finds faun asleep on a bench with a scythe leaning against it. The faun, exhausted by his hangover, confuses the pale woman wrapped in a cloak for the personified Death in the morning mist. He desperately wrestles with her but the boss mercilessly drags him to her car.
