Slávka Hradilová, now almost in her sixties, used to be a film star years ago. She keeps herself in good shape and occasionally appears in TV ads. She, however, does not conceal her desire to get a great film role. Her female friends of the same age whom she meets regularly admire her a little, are envious of her a little, but at the same time laugh at her behind her back. Slávka has a married daughter and a teenage granddaughter but that does not make her happy enough. She helps her friend Alena, who had published an ad in the Lonely Hearts column, to test her wooers but herself is not interested in any more late love affairs. One day, she finally receives a film script. Brightening up, she arrives to the film studios where she used to reign as a queen. The role is smaller than she expected but nevertheless she is unable to handle it. Her routine gestures and mimicry are obsolete. She grasps that the director is not going to engage her. She is deeply disappointed and feels she has lost her sense of life. She visits her former film partner Roman who, satisfied, works as a guard in a dock and reminds her of their gorgeous adventures and parties they experienced long ago. He also talks with disdain about both his and her acting talent - they were no real actors, only following the period ideal of film stars at that time. Slávka, surprisingly, feels invigorated and decides to write a book about her acting fame.
