CubsSynopsis
Girls from the medical boarding-school are approaching graduation. None of them wants to leave Prague so they look for all kinds of ways to secure a place in the capital. They are even prepared to fail just to postpone their departure. Their various tricks fail, though, and even the faked suicide attempt of Marie Marková doesn't secure her a desired placement. Unmarried girls have to take up previously arranged positions. Hanka and her friend Ota are also trying to avert their parting. When Ota's intervention at the Ministry of Health fails, they decide to get married. But the marriage doesn't resolve anything, on the contrary, it brings them another worry - how to find an apartment. After fruitless attempts to solve the problem, Ota takes Hanka to his parents' apartment. The parents don't approve of their marriage and the young couple is forced to leave after a nasty argument. Hanka spends the night in the workshop where Ota works. She realizes that one can't live like this and goes to take her position in the Šumava Mountains. Giving it little thought, Ota rushes to join her.
