Synopsis

First-year students of the medical faculty more or less liven up their studies through other activities, mainly throwing parties and having sex. With only two exceptions, however – the diligent Eva Pokorná, in who even her own parents cannot find a trace of charm, and the ascetic roommate of the randy student Franta. Franta carries Jana, the most beautiful colleague, from the dissecting room where she fainted during the first autopsy, and thus gets a new lover. Later, the two try to persuade the ascetic to find himself a girlfriend as well – preferably the lonesome Eva. The medical student refuses but then he unexpectedly gets drunk at a party and Franta convinces him the next day that he spent a wild night with Eva. When the medico apologizes contritely for his misbehaviour to her, the girl finally seduces him by her submissiveness. The hitherto ascetic student excuses his behaviour to himself by some experimental need to prove that he is not going to get distracted by sex during his studies. He spends a few more nights with Eva in bed and then he wants to bring his experiment to an end. But Eva gets pregnant, and the student must marry her.
