      Pětapadesátiletý poštmistr Norris, puntičkářský starý mládenec, který amatérsky hraje v kostele na varhany a fantazií se nechá unášet pouze nad sbírkou známek, se znenadání bezmezně zamiluje do Vidy Stephenové. Spřádá smělé plány, podniká prapodivné akce, ale nedokáže se vyslovit. Vidě už je přes čtyřicet a na své někdejší sny skoro zapomíná; léta tráví v chátrajícím sídle a obětavě se stará o cizího mentálně postiženého chlapce. Ovšem právě tento její svěřenec, němý a infantilní Manford, avšak nadaný zvláštními vlohami, se stane prostředníkem mezi Vido a Norrisem.
