A group of 19 young women, led by a partizan man, are the only people available to escort a number of partisan wounded in the struggle for freedom, in the mountain ranges invaded by the Nazi army. The crossing of difficult tracks, and a few encounters with enemy patrols provide danger, and death for some heroines. Two girls are in love with the column's commander, but love for the motherland and freedom will prove stronger.
Scourged by the need to be different from his contemporaries and driven by an insatiable hunger for adventurous living, Marko, a young man of 25, returns from America where he has spent a few years. He wants to impress people in his native town, but eventually everything turns against him.
