Forty-year-old criminal Janko is a living trouble. Even the prison wardens are waiting for him to be released. Soon their desires become a reality. Janko is released from prison, and his care is entrusted to his fake brother Novak. The latter already has another "ward" - a mentally ill, Sister Zana. Novak persuades Janko to repair Zana’s dilapidated house. Arrogant and temperamental criminal Janko and emotionally unstable Zana meet. By becoming caretakers of each other, they make a unique connection. It’s a fun sweet-bitter story about two freaks who discover love when they least expected it.
