Over a thousand meters long and with two hundred houses along it, the main street of the Istrian town of Vodnjan has been a showroom of crafts and different trades for centuries. At the same time, this northern Croatian coastal place has also been the meeting point of various languages, traditions and cultures. Following one day in the life of this street, with all the different ways people communicate, walk and talk, and showing colorful city carnivals and processions, the director depicts the atmosphere of this famous strada.

On a rural estate live three brothers, a sister, and their blind, religious mother. Three of the siblings have epilepsy, the fourth and eldest, Augusto does not, and he's about to break away from the family: he's in love with Lucia and planning to move to the city. Augusto's sister Guilia tries to frustrate the lovers, while another brother, Alessandro, hatches a far-reaching plot to free himself of his mother's demands and other family responsibilities, to give Augusto the wherewithal to leave with Lucia, and, perhaps, to pursue incestuous impulses with his sister.
