Synopsis:
The film tells the story of a young man from a village who becomes a priest in order to help his father financially. As a director, Hanžeković devoted special attention to the genesis of his main character, Bakonja i.e. Ivo, who goes from being a naïve, inexperienced and honest boy to a cynical, cunning and sly guardian, equipped with experiences from life both in and outside of the monastery. Hanžeković succeeded well in creating a farcical portrayal of the monastic life, relationships between monks and other picturesque characters.
