Torn between two loves, Ivica becomes a priest with a firm belief that he will keep his promise. At a funeral, he meets Zlata, who, to everyone's astonishment, becomes his hostess. The idyll was broken by Zlata's admission that she would become a mother. Since no one was supposed to know about that child, Zlata and Ivica gave him to their faithful friends. Grieving for the child she was not allowed to recognize as her own, Zlata fell ill and died, which prompted Ivica to reconsider the correctness of his decisions and complain to God...
