DESCRIPTION

Like all her friends from the women's hostel blonde-haired Andula longs for love. Although her Tonda has bought her a ring, he is still far from a girl's dream man. The young women work at a large industrial plant employing some two thousand women, which means that the small town of Zruč nad Sázavou where the factory is located suffers from a complete shortage of men. Even the stationing of an army unit in the town fails to bring a solution since older reservists get posted to Zruč instead of young men. At a dance party, these "oldies" try to approach the girls but the results are awkward. Andula, however, is lucky. She meets Milda, the young piano player in the band, and spends the night with him. New Wave gem, where non-actors  are working together with professionals.
