Dramatic story of the Sarajevo photographer Matthew Samek during World War II. Samek experiences historical events in his characteristic way. He does not like the king, but neither the German occupiers, for whom he coincidentally has to work for. His sense of justice even wins over friendship.

A young man leaves his village and goes to live in the urban outskirts. While changing one job after another, it turns out he's good for nothing and fails to keep it. On top of that, his girlfriend gets pregnant, and he decides to go back living on the farm again.
