Blaž, a man in his early forties, teaches at a music school and plays in a band in his spare time. His wife Petra has left him for another man and moved to the Czech Republic, and he is bringing up their eight-year-old daughter Ula on his own. On a train back from Vienna to Ljubljana he meets Maja, a married woman, and begins an affair with her. He also has two occasional lovers: Renata, the wife of a colleague, and Zala, a neighbour in his block whose boyfriend is often away. Ula, meanwhile, wishes that Mirjam, the music school's secretary and a friend with a son her age, would become her new mother.
