synopsis
This standard comedy by Yugoslav director Dimitrije Osmanli is especially geared to his compatriots or to people in similar cultural situations. The story is quite simple but has great potential -- a young couple make the momentous decision to leave their city life behind and move to the quiet countryside. That decision is connected to the husband's acceptance of a different job in the country. What the couple do not realize after they move is that all of their friends are anxious to leave the city too, at least for awhile. And so what started out as an idyllic summer retreat soon turns into a revolving-door hotel situation with anyone and everyone dropping by to stay for awhile.
