During WW II, when the Nazi government nationalized all Jews’ possessions, a lazy carpenter, Antonin Brtko, becomes the supervisor of a small store with sewing equipment.

She accepts Antonin thinking that he needs a job and over time they become friends. The film received an Oscar as Best Foreign Film in 1965.
