Protagonist of the film is Melita Zganjer, woman who desperately tries to lose weight. This proves to be very difficult because she works in a pastry shop. Unlike her man-eating roommate Visnja, she only dreams about love and spends all her free time watching South American soap opera "Slave of Love". The man of his dreams is much closer than she thinks, though. Janko, young man who delivers pastry, loves Melita but is too shy to express his feelings. In the meantime, Eva, policewoman and another of Melita's roommates, tries to set her up with one of her colleagues. Those efforts fail, but Melita's dreams seems to come true with Antonio Mulero, "Slave of Love" star who arrived to Zagreb to shoot a feature film.

On the same day several interrelated characters try to change their own lives and, in the process, change the lives of others. The story follows several characters whose lives intersect in one day. Doctor Alan Fjord (Ljubomir Kerekes) is lethargically wrapping up the session with frustrated actor Emil, Dragica (Mirjana Rogina) struggles with nervous bank customers on her window number 4, marginal politician Miran (Igor Mesin) finally leaves his wife to find happiness with bartender Iva and Vanja (Silvio Vovk) is a young man who connects them all. The theme of the film is a search for happiness and the crucial moment when the heart beats the mind and we do what we've always dreamed about.
