Synopsis
Bora, a gypsy goose feather merchant, is plagued by the demands of his wife and many children. In his travels Bora falls in love with Tisa, an adolescent whose lecherous stepfather, Mirta, also a feather merchant, has married her to a 12-year-old boy. Tisa runs away, and Bora finds her and takes her into his home. In time, she leaves him, and after a series of adventures she is returned to Mirta. Infuriated, Bora kills his rival. Months later, Mirta's body is found, and the police arrive to investigate, but Bora has disappeared.
