Plot summary

The film is about a selfish guy who is inattentive to other people. Nevertheless, he receives help and a sense of life.

The music plays out loud in the car. Modernly dressed, pleasant-looking driver Juhan (Kristjan Kasearu) drives fast and looks around looking for something. Juhan drives past the sign "JAANI AUTOTÖÖKODA, 200 m".
The moment Juhan sees the sign, the blind man Jaan starts walking across the road. Juhan suddenly slows down when he sees Jaan (Meelis Rondo) crossing the crossing. Jaan stumbles and falls with his bag of apples. Juhan runs nervously out of the car. Jaan does not pay attention to Juhan, he is looking for apples.
Juhan runs nervously out of the car. Jaan does not pay attention to Juhan, he is looking for apples. He manages to find a few pieces, then tries to stand up. At the same moment, Juhan realizes that it is blind.
Juhan grabs the blind man's hand and leads him across the road. Apples are not picked.
Juhan's car makes strange sounds. Juhan sits back in the car, turns on the music and drives off quickly. The car is driving over the apples.
Juhan drives to the garage, he wants to have the car repaired, but he is late. Worker Veiko (Rauni Saagim) is already repairing another car. Juhan still asks to watch his car. Veiko proves that the car is broken.
At that moment, Veiko notices Jaan approaching. Juhan recognizes the dark. He is confused. It turns out that Jaan is the main master of this car workshop. Juhan is a little embarrassed. Juhan watches as Jaan examines the car and suddenly sees a broken apple flowing down the car's shield. Juhan blushes and lowers his head.
Time is running out. Juhan is in a hurry, he is looking at the clock tightly. He already can't wait and ask when they finish. Jaan says everything is done.
Juhan quickly pays and sits back in the car. He is satisfied with the result, smiles, and he rushes and drives ahead instead of reversing - his car drives off the road.
A little later, Jaan and Veiko work in the garage. There's Juhan's car. Someone is knocking on the garage door.
Veiko opens the door, there stands a box full of apples. Veiko takes the box, bites an apple and nods. Jaan smiles.
