A young clerical student, returning home on a cold Good Friday evening, experiences a profound revelation about human connection through time after sharing the biblical story of Peter's denial with two widows. What begins as a tale of despair transforms into a powerful realization about the unbroken chain linking past suffering to present emotions, ultimately restoring the student's sense of meaning and purpose.

• Setting of desolate Russian countryside with winter returning unexpectedly on Good Friday
• Student's initial pessimism about unchanging human suffering throughout history
• Encounter with two widows by their campfire where he retells Peter's denial of Jesus
• Unexpected emotional response from the women to the ancient biblical story
• Student's revelation about the continuity of human experience across centuries
• Final epiphany that "truth and beauty" have guided human life from biblical times to present
• Transformation from despair to seeing life as "enchanting, marvelous and full of lofty meaning"
