The story deals primarily with the problem of a young man whose personal misconceptions have brought him into conflict with society. His failure to face them up openly throws him into an adventure which has a tragic issue, although it helps him grasp the truth.

The story takes place in the year 1945, on Kosovo in the past war atmosphere of scarred landscapes, burnt down homes, treason and typhus; but also in an atmosphere where great efforts are made to make ends meet and bring men closer together.

An authentic story from those days was taken as the basis for this film.
