On a sun-scorched, windswept island, a concentration camp of political prisoners awaits the visit of the "great mother", in honor of whom they have prepared a celebration. One of the prisoners, who steadfastly refuses to renounce his beliefs, disappears and is proclaimed dead by the camp's authorities. They claim he has committed suicide. However, on the day of the official visit and during the celebration, the "dead man" reappears.
