The film could have been a lyrical evocation of the ČSSR's first generation: the youngsters born during the war, who grew up in a state violently at pains to find and define itself, and were now ready to break away from the nation-builder ethics of their elders – but Grečner turned it into an anxiety-riddled existentialist vision of a whole globe in fear.

The sweet story of the Bratislava architect Andrej and the beautiful Vanda, with whom Andrej, who has been cynical about women, falls in love for the first time.

The original TV production of the fairy tale by M. Rázusová-Martáková.
