A young man named Josef visits a dilapidated Sanatorium to see his father Jakob. On his arrival, a sinister doctor informs him that his father had stopped breathing but hasn't died yet, perhaps due to Josef's arrival which may have halted time in the sanatorium. Josef undertakes a strange journey through the many rooms of the sanatorium, each which conjures worlds composed of his memories, dreams and nightmares.

The film opposes the view that childhood is the happiest time of our lives. Childhood dramas are deeply etched in memory and leave a permanent imprint on our consciousness. The Carousel Part I. Little boys from a small town want to take a ride on the carousel but they have no money. They push the carousel for hours. They hope that the owner will eventually give them a free ride. In the evening, however, they are already too tired to take up his offer. They are allowed a ride, but they refuse. The Fall of a Millionaire Part II. A ten-year-old boy wants to impress his friends. He is feeble and shy, but he has a piggy bank, which becomes the object of desire for his peers. He tells the other boys that he will soon buy a bicycle from the accumulated savings. When the bank is broken into pieces, the myth of the millionaire is shattered. There are only banknotes painted by the little dreamer.
