A segunda e, infelizmente, a última longa-metragem feita por um talento único entre cineastas eslovacos, Elo Havetta, é uma das imagens mais originais da cinematografia eslovaca. O filme foi concebido como uma paráfrase da prosa de Vincent Šikula, os episódios trágicos de que o guionista Lubor Dohnal e Havetta compuseram numa história dramática. As personagens principais são veteranos da Primeira Guerra Mundial que voltam para casa. E enquanto eles sentem a necessidade de encontrar uma casa e se acalmar, eles também são impulsionados por uma paixão pela vida livre de um vagabundo.
