The narrative begins with a young man, weary and disillusioned with his seemingly empty life, wandering through a cemetery. This setting is not merely a backdrop but a representation of his internal state—a "living death" where passion has been replaced by exhaustion. His encounter with a gravedigger, who asks him to keep watch over a lonely, unclaimed body, marks the turning point of the story.
