The story of husband and wife Terka and Andrej begins almost idyllically: they live in a nice, modernly furnished apartment with two children, little Emilka and adolescent Adam, and it seems that they lack nothing to make them happy.

A serious crisis in the marriage occurs when Andrej, the owner of a travel agency, cuts his taxes and goes to prison. Terka will be left alone to raise the children and must cope with situations she never dreamed of before...
