Ljubljana 1941, the war interrupts the careless lives of high school students Niko and Maria. The boy soon joins the underground movement and gets hurt in action. He finds shelter at Maria’s boathouse and waits for the partisans to collect him. And then he gets involved in a situation when he has to kill a person for the first time in his life. And this feeling of being caught between love and death marks his transition from being a child to becoming a fighter.
