Forgoing a narrator, dialogue and direct statements for the camera, the film depicts the life on the river Neretva.

Forgoing a narrator, dialogue and direct statements for the camera, the film depicts the life on the river Neretva – the people who perform all their daily tasks using only their small narrow boats, trupice. The director's almost inconspicuous camera records their everyday life: the fishing, the nocturnal hunt for waterfowl, taking the cattle to water, children's games, weddings, a funeral and an occasional bizarre act such as the scene in which a woman washes the laundry using an ancient Roman gravestone as a washboard.
