In "The Stone," Swiss cabaret artist and writer Franz Hohler gathers ten quirky tales, each exploring the themes of chance or destiny in its own unique way. The president of a country takes a small kitten into his office against the wishes of his advisors, which will later save his life. A snowed-in couple suddenly hears the voices of relatives on the radio instead of the weather report. Without knowing how it happens, a young man throws a stone during a demonstration. An unexpected man dressed as a king appears to a feverish patient. The fate of a small yellow pencil illustrates how even minor events can unexpectedly change the course of life. A neurotic teacher discusses his unending itch with his doctor. The legal smoking ban.
