A happy beginning for this story - Mihaska's father came alive from the war. But, building their new peaceful life, father and mother betray themselves, the purity of their former life. Distant post-war years. The country is rising from its knees after the worst and bloodiest war. People who look like skeletons are always hungry, but we need to raise the country, because a bright future, a peaceful life awaits them. It is necessary to restore a lot and live on. Mihaska lives with his mother, dad at the front. Mom gives her last strength at work in the hospital, even gives her blood for the wounded soldiers. In the houses and joy and grief, because not everyone returns home, many put their heads on damp land for the life of children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren. But joy came to the house of Mihaska and his mother - dad and husband returned from the war.
