Tiflis, in the early twentieth century. Hayrumyan works in the office of an Armenian newspaper, accustomed to poverty, delayed wages, and exhausting routines. One day, the usual order is disturbed by the arrival of the landlady and a court officer. The situation surrounding the newspaper’s debts reveals the characters of those involved and raises questions about dignity, hardship, social standing, and devotion to one’s work.
