Jan Jõemets is one of the most unique thinkers of the new generation of Estonia. In the 1990s he became a cult lecturer at the Estonian Institute of Humanities, while at the same time he has no university degree yet… His 1500-page bachelor's thesis is not satisfactory to him. Jan is a man who finds his ACTivity accentuatedly in the present. He is concentrated on focusing and intensity, and in every moment he lives in and through his object of study - Theatrum philosophicum... Regardless of everything, Jan decides to go to university now, for the last time, in order to finally graduate. He is opposed on that by his one-time good friend, an extraordinary power thinker Margus Ott, who is a Doctor of Philosophy, superproductive translator, lecturer, combiner of the Western and Oriental philosophies, theoretician and practitioner of the Asian way of thinking, and a father of three children.

If Jan finds the ideal life of every humanitarian at every moment, why does no one else have the courage to imitate it so perfectly? Even Margus is forced to admit to Jan: I struggle but you act without acting. A film about being, the use of time, and choices through philosophy.
