This is the best film ever made in Croatia and I am positive about it. Every single point, from the scenario, costumes, music, camera, editing and lights to the astonishing performances of the actors is fantastic. I am sorry that all available tracks are in such poor condition and that it makes it hard to show the film to the audience outside Croatia. I am also sorry that no contemporary croatian director is that good at the moment. All glory to Nikola Tanhofer! ——IMDB

Todos os domingos, o solteirão, solitário e refinado juiz Mladen vai jogar xadrez com seu amigo, o escultor Fedji. Pouco a pouco, ele envolve-se num caso com Neda, a esposa de Fedji, e quase invisivelmente, um triângulo amoroso se forma. O tabuleiro de xadrez é a parte central do filme, enquanto os movimentos no tabuleiro refletem as emoções das personagens.
