Plot

The film is based on Fatmir Gjata's screenplay. Gjata had written a novel with the same title earlier. The events evolve in the 1950s. The main character, Tana, is a smart, outgoing and progressive young woman. She is in love with Stefan (Naim Frashëri) and they both live in an unnamed mountain village in Albania. Tana has to face the old mentality of her old grandfather, and she also has to fight the jealousy of Lefter (Kadri Roshi). It is a love game, while socialist progress is highlighted, as is often the case in socialist realism.
