Da me je strah?

A man and a woman, both young Partisans who barely know each other, tell in turn of the Second World War in the Slovenian forests: fear and courage, hunger, cold, worry for their families and constant death. Near the end of the war he is badly wounded and loses a leg, and his old sense of inadequacy, rooted in a father who left for America, strains their bond. She, the only daughter among many sons, has had to fight for everything, above all her schooling. After the war they marry and become part of the Party elite, where activism leaves no time for private life. From the 1950s their daughter adds her own voice, grows into a rebellious young woman who doubts her parents' victorious generation, and sets off to see the world.
