The story unfolds in the Slovenian countryside, where Pero an emotional and intelligent man in his thirties, works as a writer of funeral speeches. But these are more than mere eulogies for the dead, since they are cleverly and intentionally intertwined with his life philosophy. The essence of the story are the relationships between the inhabitants of this small rural community, their eternal quest for warmth and love in this absurd chaos we call life. Ida is in love with Šuki, Vilma is preoccupied with her worthless husband, Pero is trying to win Renata's heart, and Dedo is tormented by feelings of loneliness and sadness since the death of his wife, which drive him to frequent but hopelessly inept suicide attempts. Although it starts out as a comedy, it develops in other directions and leads to an end that leaves Pero speechless.
