Four short stories about the life of post-war Prague in May 1945. The general, meeting a little boy in a random Czech house, remembers the family who died in the blockade. A sapper needs chalk, for which he comes to a local school, where he falls in love with a teacher. A Prague resident who has returned from Auschwitz discovers that his apartment has been occupied by a Sudeten German who is shooting at passers-by, and Soviet tankers have to intervene in the situation. A Soviet sergeant, sitting on a city tram, remembers his profession and asks to give him the place of a counselor.
