The war ended a long time ago, but the wounds in the hearts of those who suffered it will take a long time to heal. This film tells the story of the "living slice" of the human soul, of the goodness that ultimately triumphs despite all the bitterness and loss.

The crew of a navy boat rescue a bear cub.

Four short stories tell about the inhabitants of the Moldovan village of Redu Mare. Stefan, a former front-line cowman, returned from the army and found unpleasant changes for himself. His beloved girlfriend got married... Originally from Redu Mare, the hero of the second novel is the power juggler Ion Ciocanu. The third novel tells about a young rural saint. His love for a random girl he met awakened a craving for a "mundane" life. But Valentine is lucky... The film ends with a story about Toolbarel, a cheerful and wise old man. He appears in all the other novels.

The film brings back to the screen another page of the underground youth struggle against the fascist occupiers of Moldova — the Romanian Cigurans.

Pavel, having met Sofiyka, came to her village. But she is waiting for her fiancé from the army, Seraphim, for whom the villagers are building a house.
