An elderly man is on board a rusty and weather-beaten cable car heading somewhere in the mountains. The man has a bad cold and every time he sneezes the rickety cable car begins to lose pieces. The man, however, does not resign himself to a tragic fate but with just a roll of adhesive tape he changes the outcome of the unlikely ascent.
