Even president Josip Broz Tito himself is expected to come to Osijek to announce the start of the event. Nevertheless, Tomo is more interested in girls than in rowing, especially the beautiful prostitute Betika and a girl from his neighborhood named Jasna. However, his sexual desires are unable to be fullfilled due to undiagnosed impotency, which becomes so severe that he ends up in the hospital. Pressured by local politicians to compete in the Junior Cup to get his father out of prison, he decides to take the risk, despite knowing what trouble it poses.

Stipan is a policeman who comes to small Adriatic island off the Croatian coast in order to investigate the reports of strange phenomena that had frightened the local population. At first, nobody wants to co-operate with him, until he finds out that the island is allegedly haunted by the ghost of Josip Broz Tito, the communist leader of the former Yugoslavia. For Luka, the mayor, this is an opportunity to turn the entire island into a Tito-themed amusement park. Tito's WW2 veterans, on the other hand, don't believe in ghosts. For them, the apparition is actually Tito himself, who had returned in order to lead them into a new revolution which would restore communism.

Four very different people live in the same building but avoid each other because of differences in how they live their lives, what they believe in, and where they come from. They would probably never exchange a word, but misfortune pushes them towards each other. Their lives entangle in ways that profoundly challenge deep-held beliefs and prejudices surrounding material status, sexual orientation, nationality and religion. Slowly, and even painfully, they begin to open up to each other and recognize the essential humanity each of them possesses.

A disillusioned opera star, a lonely pastry chef, and a divorced Don Juan with an amorous history offstage make for choice ingredients in this poignant romantic tale spiced with Christmas cookies, borscht, and an alarming quantity of deadly insecticide. Director Tribuson demonstrates a deft talent for juggling comic romantic disasters from a woman’s point of view as her characters negotiate the bamboozling ways of love. Middle-aged Verica (acclaimed actress Marinković) pours her heart into her café’s pastries, but she can’t seem to find a like-minded lover until a duplicitous handyman with pheromones to spare and an eye for the ladies sets off a chain of unforeseen adventures all tied together by one fateful plate of tasty treats.
