When Melita leaves hotel, the hotel maid Jagoda, too beautiful for somebody who drinks too much, decides to put fidelity of Orhan, German businessman of Turkish origin, to the test. Instead of returning to Germany, Orhan unexpectedly discovers the roots of Turkish culture in Belgrade and falls in love with Jagoda.
