The boy Branimir and his family often move because Branimir’s father is a builder and changes jobs almost every year. Moving from one place to another, Branimir changes his home, school and friends, which is not the happiest solution for a boy his age. Still, he tries to fit in.

Once a year, on his father’s name day, Slavek Slivar, an employee of the city waterworks, is traveling with his wife and daughter to the village outside Zagreb to congratulate “years” to his father who lives there. Slavek’s sister Mira and her husband Miroslav also come here to congratulate.
