Pepek (
Josef Kemr) and his wife Sima (
Ljuba Skorepová) make their living by casting posthumous masks. One day, Pepek decides to make a mask of his friend Lojza (
Ladislav Mrkvicka) alive. Lojza cannot even move during the casting to make the plaster harden properly. As they wait, Pepek's memories begin to pop up to his mind - how he met Sima, a circus-rider, who broke her leg and lost her work in the circus, and how they then began to live together.
