Anishoara is 15 years old and lives in a small, picturesquely situated village in Moldova. She leads a calm, slightly lonely life with her old grandfather Petru and her little brother Andrei. In summer she and her friends make a trip to the melon harvest, where she feels for the first time the overwhelming sensation of first love. In autumn an old German tourist comes to the village, on a trip around Moldova. In winter Anishoara travels for the first time in her life to the sea, with Dragosh, the young man she fell in love with. In spring she longs for Dragosh, but he returns with a surprise. It is the last year of Anishoara’s childhood in this lovely valley. Soon her new adult life will begin.
