This conventional post-nuclear holocaust drama from Yugoslav director Veljko Bulajic seems to be at cross purposes.

At the center of focus is a young couple who were getting married when the atomic bombs changed the face of the planet, and through the couple's own dilemma the greater picture is glimpsed. Assisting Eva Krizevska, Anton Vrdoljak, Zlatko Madunic, and other actors is President Marshal Tito's army.
