The main character, Kristina, is a young teacher who faces the challenges of her profession, but also her own inner turmoil and desires. The plot follows her search for love and self-realization in a world limited by social norms and expectations.

Kristina is a complex figure, torn between professional obligations and personal passions. Through her relationships with men and colleagues, the novel explores themes of passion, freedom, and the conflict between individual desires and social conventions. Novak-Kajzer uses a gentle but honest narrative style, which emphasizes the emotional depth and inner struggles of the main character. The teaching environment serves as a backdrop for depicting everyday challenges, but also as a metaphor for Kristina's inner dilemmas.

The novel stands out for its subtle depiction of female sexuality and emotionality, which was innovative in Slovenian literature at the time of publication. Through Kristina's story, the author questions gender roles and seeks a balance between personal autonomy and social pressures.
