Short description:
While returning from Adriatic coast, group of drunk German tourists get lost into a Montenegrian village, where widows are hostile towards them, because they look on them as murderers of their husbands. Only Vlasta, insane from pain, greets Germans friendly, hoping that they will return her son back. The Germans, however, disclose themselves through internal quarrels. Among them, there are some who have really done the "reprisals". A young German, symbolizing young generation, condemns the past, believing in more beautiful and brighter future.
