Lucin, a labourer, permanent debtor and occasional thief, is caught trying to steal money from another labourer's pocket in the canteen of a large gravel pit.

The beaten one is thrown in the mud; Magdalena, a worker who lives alone in a cottage on the factory grounds, takes over. The two of them, abandoned and derailed, begin to live together. The novelist and screenwriter Jan Procházka wrote the script for Rudolf Hrušínský directly on his body; The choice of Hana Hegerová was made after a long search for the leading lady. According to Karel Kachyna, "they formed a very strange, yet very close couple. It's a film about two people; the rest is just atmosphere and environment. "Procházka has collaborated with Kachyna on other successful films, such as. Torment, A Carriage to Vienna, The Night of the Bride and most famously The Ear.
