The film takes place in the Mur (river), in the vicinity of Gornja Radgona. David Slavinec, nicknamed Đuro (Primož Bezjak) has recently been layoff from his job. However, his former boss points him to a new job at the automechanic shop owned by his acquaintance Pišti Gajaš (Vlado Novak), which he gladly accepts. Gajaš is an experienced, but somewhat naive local car mechanic who frequently talks about the past times when, in his opinion, life was much better for the ordinary people. His friends frequently visit him to play cards and discuss the events happening around them.
