Everything in town appears calm, placid, lovely. But , a rifleman assigned as an orderly, hears voices -- the times are out of joint, at least in his cosmos. To his captain, is a comic marvel: ignorant but courageous, full of energy to little purpose. To a local doctor, is a curiosity, the object of cruel study. , 40, has a young wife, Marie, and a small child. He dotes on them, but Marie, even though she has periods of guilt and remorse, carries on affairs and flirtations. When the captain lets drop broad hints of 's being a cuckold, his inner demons and the voices of the spheres take over. Will madness bring action? Of what sort?
