In 1999, NATO bombed Belgrade. For a group of young people, even that wasn't enough to cool their passion for English football. Amid the burning sparks of football, war and love, the electricity suddenly went out. However, the surprises were only just beginning...

Lawyer Radmilo, the most eligible bachelor, has spent years in love with Ljiljana, refusing all other offers of marriage. He wants to marry Ljiljana, but she plans to marry Momchila.

The film presents an analysis of a concrete situation: it begins with a representation of the political oppression (forced evictions) the government of the city of Belgrade visited on the Roma people inhabiting the settlement of Belleville.

This is a touching love story based on the novel by Mir Jam. The successful and young lawyer, Radmilo, is in love with a beautiful girl from Belgrade - Ljiljana, who he hasn't seen for years. She is in love with another man but, as he reveals that he is not willing to marry her, she accepts Radmilo's marriage proposal just to spite him. On their first wedding night she admits that she loves another and tries to leave the house but Radmilo asks her to give him three months so he could think of a good excuse for them to separate, since he lives in a small place where everyone knows (and talks about) everything. As it happens, during those three months emotions bloomed and what started with a fight continued with affection.

Set in the 1930s, the series is about the impossible love between a poor young man from the province, an unemployed law graduate and a talented singer, and the rich and sensitive heiress of a bank manager and owner.
