The story

After World War II, in a village on the border between Italy and Yugoslavia, a special demarcation commission draws a line that will divide the village in half. In a few hours, the villagers will have to decide whether they will be Italians or Yugoslavs. This causes many hardships for people. One of the farmers has a house on one side of the border and a field on the other. The young man’s love lives in the other half of the settlement. The children are from all over the village and even they do not accept such changes.
