The story of a boy through whose conscience and feelings stormy fifties are refracted. The time in which he lives is not inclined to him and his father, who works in the Ministry of Work. Intrigues get his father to prison. He is one of the arrested ones, whose guilt was never proven. He is a victim of time in which Yugoslavia found itself, resisting the influence of Stalinism.
