SIlvestar has been the oldest Kolbas in the family for some time. His parents died, his father before the war, and his mother a little later. His younger brother also died from the consequences of the war. He is 68 years old and married for the second time. He has three children: Jakov, the eldest from his first marriage; Eva, from his second marriage, born from in vitro fertilization; and Ante, who was adopted from a children’s home when he was eight. The director deals with children’s influence on his feelings, attitudes, and the relationship between himself and his wife. Also, he deals with his influence on his children, his relationship with them, and the anxiety of whether he gives them all the same amount of love. Finally, he wonders how the children change him and how he sees the relationship between them as spouses, and themselves.
