Synopsis
The film tells the story of the fortunes and mishaps of Martin and his girlfriend Zorica, both students and subtenants, as they try to get a flat of their own in the then modern Zagreb, shown as a dynamic, modern city that has an international fair, music evenings, jazz, fashion, and sport events. Of course, the city has its own challenges, similar to today, such as the need for young people to have a space of their own, the magical flat, which sometimes becomes a trap used by the unscrupulous to trick the naive.
