Synopsis
In the second half of the 1930s in Zagreb, young Ana Šafranek is unhappy in her marriage to her much older husband, Franjo. During an outing to Samobor, she meets the charming Fulir, who begins to court her and soon visits her in her apartment. At the same time, Ana’s sister Mina also falls in love with him, while Franjo tries to resolve the situation by pairing Fulir with Mina instead. All these romantic and family entanglements are observed by little Perica, the Šafranek family’s son.

About the director
Krešo Golik (1922–1996) was a Croatian film and television director and screenwriter.

He gained early recognition through documentary and feature films, and after a ten-year hiatus he re-established himself with the award-winning documentary From 3 to 22 (1966). His greatest success came with One Song a Day Takes Mischief Away (1970), one of the most important works in Croatian cinema, and the popular television series Gruntovčani (1975). He directed a number of notable films and worked as a professor of directing at the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb. He received the Vladimir Nazor Award for lifetime achievement in 1983.
