Plot

Always lived in solitude, working the land (his only company is a cat), one day Alceo meets Ester, a much younger girl than him. The two like each other and Alceo decides to take her to his cottage. Partly for his shady and grumpy character, partly for his deep-rooted habit of living alone, Alceo soon gets tired of his partner. When Ester decides to leave, Alceo would like to compensate her with money: she instead asks him for the cat. Some time later Alceo realizes that loneliness weighs too much on him: he returns to Esther to take her home but, during the journey, to those who ask him where he is going, he answers sardonically to "go and get the cat".
