The film is set in a provincial Moldovan town. Seventeen-year-old Milika, a school leaver, has not yet decided on her future career. But that is not her main problem. Milika is more concerned about the discord within her family — it is becoming clear to her that her mother and father no longer love each other. She takes a job at a poultry farm, but the work does not satisfy her. She joins the DOSAAF parachuting club, where she meets Dumitru, a soon-to-be conscript.
