Little Summer Blues

Fifteen-year-old Jiřina is spending her summer holiday with her father at the family cottage. The father has to go to Prague on business and, after few moments of hesitation, he decides to leave Jiřina alone in the cottage. The holiday by the river is pleasant and the gang of children to which Jiřina belongs enjoys it duly. Jiřina is wooed by Roman, but she is more interested in Franta from the opposite bank of the river. Franta invites the girl to his cottage, but when the more experienced youth wants to kiss her, Jiřina runs away. She at the same time finds out to her sorrow that Franta is still dating his love from last year's holidays, Bláža. Despite that, she meets Franta again and receives her first kiss in life from him during their date above the river. But when Franta introduces her to his group of friends and behaves a bit rudely to her, Jiřina runs away again. In the evening, she celebrates her fifteenth birthday with her friends, hoping that Franta would join the party. But he never shows up and Bláža, too, is missing. Jiřina sets off to see Franta to his cottage and when the young man does not come for long, she falls asleep by the house. In the morning, Franta finally returns, but Jiřina hides from him. In the meadow, she runs to her father who watches the sadness in his daughter's eyes with both anxiety and understanding.
