Documentary about the life and work of Ivan Martinac (1938-2005), avant-garde & experimentalist filmmaker from Split, Croatia.

A comedy of everyday life problems of a "temporary" teacher who leads a very "temporary" life. For ten years, he temporarily lives with his married sister in a cramped, one-room apartment in which, his brother's-in-law sister also temporarily lives. He has a diploma, but not a steady job. He's a school teacher for a definite period of time with a "temporary" status. At the mean time, a boy who lives alone with his mother goes to the same school. He wants to have a father by his own choice, not his mother's. It seems that the teacher suits most of the boy's idea of a father. And the boy gains what he always wants.

Scourged by the need to be different from his contemporaries and driven by an insatiable hunger for adventurous living, Marko, a young man of 25, returns from America where he has spent a few years. He wants to impress people in his native town, but eventually everything turns against him.

Three young delinquents, two boys and a girl - go through their personal drama alongside wrongdoings they do. The local chief inspector gives his best to help them, besides the fact that he's beholden to arrest them.
