À Ljubljana vit un chauffeur de bus, Stebe. Il est veuf. Il vit avec cinq fils et une femme de ménage, Rozi. Les garçons sont farceurs et agacent Rozi et, en fait, tout le quartier. Un jour, Rozi, en désespoir de cause, déclare qu'elle les quitte, car elle ne peut plus les supporter. Et elle s'en va, bien qu'elle aime les garçons. Peu de temps après, la nièce de Rozi, Meri, la remplace dans l’appartement car elle aimerait se trouver un emploi en ville.

Peter, whose father was a member of the Home Guard collaboration forces and a political emigrant, returns from Argentina to Slovenia, his father’s homeland. In Slovenia, Peter makes the acquaintance of an architect, but their friendship is fraught with ideological conflicts.

The movie based upon the classical Slovene novel Martin Kačur, depicts the clash between the teacher Martin Kačur and his conservative environment. Due to his progressive ideas, he is transferred to a small town. The village environment is even more depressing than his former surroundings were, as the influence of both the secular and the Church authorities is even greater in the country. Even though Martin meets Tončka and the two of them get married, he gradually becomes a disillusioned and embittered man. In time, when society's strictures become somewhat milder, Martin is transferred to a more friendly environment, but all the injustices he has experienced have already bitten too deep. Unlike his wife, Martin finds it very difficult to accept changes. When his son dies, it seems as though he has lost all his elan and the will to live. Will he be able to go on bringing the light of knowledge to the ignorant masses, or will his ideals be buried forever like a man in a snowdrift?

A kind of movie suite about love adventures. The characters and their relationships intertwine into a charming whole.
