A carnival is in town. Workers start to build the stalls and tents. Players practice their act. Roma, peasants and grifters put up their own boots. After they pay taxes to local officials, they get a muddy ground for their stalls.

The TV series is about a couple of guys, one good and naive, the other a liar and a manipulator, trying to make a living the best way they can. Along the way they meet a guy who eats glass, metal and plates, a couple of strippers, and a lot of ordinary people. Žilnik's dry and realistic approach is filled with humour and documentary parts with some real peasants and working-class people. The original three-part miniseries lasting 220 minutes is lost, only the 102 minute long restored series turned into a film is available.

Belgrade in 2041 is a deserted city that looks like a dump yard. A few old men try to bring up a group of young girls in the old, traditional way of their Yugoslav ancestors.

A vast power plant is being built on the Drina River. This river has been famous for hundreds of years old tradition of rafting. In this way timber is transported downstream to Belgrade. This is a very dangerous profession where only qualified and experienced workers survive. Work on constructing the dam connects two heroes in this story – Bogdan, one of the last rafting masters on the Drina and Dragoljub, one of the oldest explosive experts who has been building dams all over the world. This is a film story about their long lives, happy days and disappointments, about the friendship that is born in the shadow of an enormous dam.
