A man takes 10 days of unpaid leave and finds love
Ivan is a young working specialist. He wants 10 days unpaid from his boss because he wants to take time to be with his visiting mother. His mother arrives and with her visit, the young man lives through some exciting events with friends and strangers. He meets the beautiful and joyful girl Ani. In her rebellion against the consumer's moral of the people who surround her she looks for truth at the places where it never existed - the noisy parties in bars. Often in her harsh words and suggestive behavior one could see her strive to find herself. Ivan finds Ani to be his only true love. His feelings are expressed in the confrontation with Ani's father regarding the future of his daughter. In his desire to help her, Ivan is even being rude to Ani: "Live in the restaurants and practice your monologues or turn to periodical suicides!" These words hold the power of true love, they are full of pain and desire for help to the person who stand next to you. Ani tries to defend herself with the words: "...It is worse to be unable to do what you want". The way of the two young people to the truth and life will be long, as this truth is being overshadowed by them. For ten days Ivan lives through the excitement of love, the power of forgiving love of the mother in the city of sea and seagulls.
