Sinopsis
Near the remains of an iron factory, an old painter faces the challenges of creation, as his longtime muse has not appeared in some time. A young girl lends her curiosity to discover what it is that holds the old painter back. Her mother tells her a bedtime story to which brings understanding of the relationship between the abandoned factory and the lonely artist nearby. Poetically representing a new relationship between human beings and things buried in oblivion after doing their duties, this work approaches the essence of 'science' and 'civilization.'
The mistress of a wealthy man, alone in her huge apartment and terribly lonely, phones strangers in the middle of the night. One night she phones a young writer, and as the days pass and the conversations continue a relationship forms between two people who've never seen each other.

En la segunda parte de su trilogía bélica, Zafranovic aborda esta vez la historia de un partisano enfrentado al dilema de anteponer la causa política a sus esperanzas y preocupaciones particulares. Película extremadamente lírica y hasta sensual por momentos (luminosa su fotografía, el sol omnipresente), pero violenta y amarga en otros (especialmente al recrear los episodios de batalla en retaguardia), se aborda en ella la guerra como una cuestión moral, sin heroísmos, así como las consecuencias de la intransigencia ideológica, con independencia de su signo.
The sore and tender hearts of a young couple with a toddler are explored in this drama. The little girl, four years old, is not aware that she is doing anything distressing while she ambles about the house on the day after a post-examination celebration by her father, a university student. Even though hung over, he tries hard to be patient with her. The beginning of the story follows her on her little adventures. The girl comes down with a fever, which kills her before anything can be done, and the student and his photographer wife mourn and comfort one another. Little encounters with children cause the mother pain she is seldom free of, until she gives birth to their next child, a son.
