Sixteen-year old Bobina Gromová surrenders to the charms of a blue-eyed youth she meets at a dance and loses her virginity with him that same night. Only then do they introduce themselves and learn each other's names. Their courtship is short-lived, the next day the assembler Pepík Bajcura leaves for Algeria to work on construction. After a while, a postcard of three camels arrives from him, with a short greeting. The letter that the pregnant Bobina writes to him is returned with a note that the addressee has died in an accident. The girl's mother Božena is single, just like her grandmother and great grandmother. This is why Božena decides to resolve her daughter's "problem" with an abortion. Bobina changes her mind on the way to the hospital and spends the money reserved for the surgery. Božena reconciles herself to the situation and kicks her lover Milouš out of their small flat. Little Pepík is born, and Božena finds a new boyfriend, Alfréd. He helps Bobina in her struggle with the authorities for the young mother wants her son surnamed Bajcura. However, the postcard cannot prove Pepík Bajcura's fatherhood. Even the promised testimony of Pepík's colleagues does not help. A visit to Bajcura's parents is a fiasco. Shocked by the information about their son's unknown lover and the unexpected grandson, they throw Alfréd and the two women with the baby out of their little house. The kind and caring "grandpa" Alfréd is also soon lured away by his long-standing girlfriend. The two women remain alone, as has become traditional in their family. (official distributor synopsis)
