A beautiful, underachieving, 18 year old orphan considers various suitors, ponders philosophy, and takes a young girl under her wing.

Dita Saxová (Krystyna Mikolajewska) is the only one in her family to have survived the concentration camp. Two years have passed since the War and she now lives, together with young women in similar circumstances, at the Young Women's Home organized by the Jewish religious community in Prague. Lawyer comes to see Dita, at whom her uncle, a dental technician, hid his gold foils before the War. He hands over only half of them, and keeps the rest as the payment for the "dangers" he had endured. Dita has three suitors. She gives no hope to the madly enamored Fici and refuses to go to San Salvador with the rich Herbert. She thinks that she has found true love in David Egon (Josef Abrhám) and loses her virginity with him at a pension outside Prague.—NFA.cz
