Andula works in a provincial Czech shoe factory where women greatly outnumber men. At a dance organized with army reservists, she meets visiting pianist Milda and later travels to Prague, unexpectedly arriving at the home he shares with his parents.

Hana Brejchová's open Andula remains more emotionally serious than the arrangements around her. Factory dormitories, an awkward dance, a ring, shared beds, kitchen-table argument, and nonprofessional timing give romance social texture.
