Zoltan is an old man with woman problems. He was living on his own for a very long time and does not want to change, but Martha, a woman living in his neighbourhood has a different idea. Zoltan is also a writer. He is writing a fiction book about Gorman, a man who is able to breathe under water. Zoltan does not like Gorman. He wants to write a simple, nice story, but every time he sits down to write, . something strange happens to Gorman. Gorman's character is getting stronger, more and more real in Zoltan's mind, so much that he is starting to ask advice from Gorman about his problems. Later on they even meet face to face when Zoltan says goodby as he is starting to write a new book with different people. By this time Gordon is so real that his life story continues without the writer.
