In Ljubljana lives a bus driver Stebe. He's a widower. He lives with five sons and a maid Rozi. The boys are very naughty and keep annoying Rozi and, in fact all neighbourhood. One day Rozi in desperation declares that she is leaving them, because she cant stand it no more. And she does leave, although she is fond of the boys. Soon afterwards Rozi's niece Meri comes by, asking if she might stay because she wants to find herself a job in town. Meri is good girl but cannot cope with the kitchen work as successfully as her aunt. But the whole Steb family seems to be charmed by her. Even one of Stebe's own colleagues, Tone, begins to take interest in the girl. Meri likes him too. Stebe's boys feel quite disappointed because of it. But all's well that ends well: in full conspiracy Meri qualifies as bus driver while Rozi returns to the Stebe family.

Ironic interpretation of positive and negative sides of daily trips of city people into the nature.

The human has been freed of physical labour by automatic devices. But the machine made a slave out of the human. The human has become a machine: working, living – and nothing more.

A film reportage on countryside laundresses by Jože Bevc.

The story of Marija who finished 5th grade at the age of 41 proves it is never too late to get an education. Because of some unfortunate circumstances she had to drop from school after the 4th grade and get a job in the nearest factory. Soon she was promoted into department manager, some workers were envious saying she has no education and that encouraged her return to school.
