The urban architect Viktor Průcha is disgusted by the compromises to which he is pushed both by his friends – influential people living in a small town – and his wife Sonja, a successful dentist. Viktor refuses to approve a garage construction on a plot in the centre which was previously allotted for a kindergarten. The visit of his friend, the bohemian painter Došek, is rather thought-provoking. Došek reminds him of his long-wasted talent for photography, especially nudes. Viktor’s drunkenness and the resulting quarrel with Sonja spoil the celebration of his fortieth birthday. Viktor moves to his former studio and plans to take up photography again. On one of his wanderings, he meets the very young Gypsy Aranka by the river and asks her to pose for him. The girl is quite unconventional but shy. Only the strange atmosphere in a forest before a storm makes her agree to be shot naked. The exhibition of Aranka’s nudes in a theatre foyer causes a stir. The only ones who openly appreciate the works are Došek and the friend Majka, who is married to an elderly director of a construction company, Karas. Sonja arranges for the exhibition to be terminated and the rupture between the husband and wife is definite. Majka turns into Viktor’s nude model as well as his lover. The police investigate a false denunciation that Aranka is underage. Sonja’s father, an advocate, wants to reconcile his daughter with his son-in-law. Majka who initially planned to live with Viktor, finally returns to her “golden cage”. Viktor leaves both his job and the town. Sonja looks him up at a railway station and offers to wait for him for a year. Cast: Jana Sulcova, Ivana Chylkova, Anna Tomsova.
