A young man spent his first night with a woman. In the morning, before leaving for work, he enthusiastically tells her about how long he had dreamed of her. With a kiss on the cheek, the young woman Markéta convinces him that she is indeed real. In the factory changing room, the young man meets a colleague who realizes that he has fallen in love. He tells him about what Markéta was saying to him in bed when they were having an intimate moment. Then he warns him – the young woman is a liar with whom almost everyone has slept. The young man does not believe it, but other colleagues confirm it: a worker known as Fanfán and an older worker. The older worker remembers how when he was younger, every girl would claim her lover to be her second. They would also claim that her first one was a partisan who died during the war. The unfortunate man stands stiffly in the dressing room and hears the older worker telling the others that it would be best for him to find a truly decent girl who would tell him the right – sacred – words.
