The story is inspired by the comedy of the most famous Yugoslav playwright, Branislav Nusic. Zarko, a young poet, is being chased by police for publishing an anti-regime poem. He hides in his friend Dusan's house, who introduces him to his parents and sister Zorica under the name of his old schoolmate Vlajko Micic. Love develops between the false "Veljko" and Zorica, who admires Zarko's poems. However, the poet does not reveal his true identity. Zorica's parents notice the love between the two young people, and on the advice of their family friend secretly invite Vlajko's father to come to their home.
