Plot

A 10-year-old boy with a broken arm befriends a young, paraplegic actor in the hospital. Together, the two think up a pirate story in which they play the main roles. Every day the boy, Leonid, comes to the actor's room, which also houses a poor old man. In the made-up story, he becomes the evil adversary of the pirates.

Little by little, everyone in the hospital gets their roles in the story. Leonid is fascinated. But in order for the story to continue, the boy has to steal bottles of medicine for the actor, who no longer has any joy in life and plans a suicide. It is only when the boy falls down and hits his head during such an action, that the actor realizes that life has meaning as long as you have friends.

At the end of the - real and fictional - story, the two resist the villain in the room and hijack his sick bed with a cane.
