Gorazd Zilavec

A canoe trip down the river Kolpa becomes a journey of discovery for three female students.

Breza, a country boy from a godforsaken Prekmurje village, wishes to perform at the village festivities playing his electric guitar, but is faced with fierce competition in the form of a traditional Roma band entertaining the villagers by playing popular folk music. Nevertheless, his music seems to be the key to the heart of Silvija, a village beauty and the daughter of a wealthy gastarbeiter from Switzerland, who was sent home to find a healthy Slovene husband. However, the story of Breza and Silvija only marks the beginning of the plot whose main character is actually Düplin, an eccentric outsider, a deaf-and-dumb tramp or, as Breza's mother, the old Popovka, a farm owner and a fortune-teller also referred to as Strina, called him "a lad from a citrus producing country".

The series tells the story of two couples separated only by a wall through which many things can be heard. Ivo and Silvika Špeh live on one side, Beno and Žuža Sagadin live on the other. Beno and Ivo have been friends since their youth, so they share a very special bond. Žuža and Silvika try to get the best out of their husbands, but sometimes it breaks down.
