A hard-drinking gypsy from a small town, when not losing heavily at cards or trying to avoid his ageing wife, whom he soon hopes to replace with a younger model, struggles manfully to build his goose feather business in the face of strong competition from a local rival, in Petrović’s sporadically humorous and mildly amusing film, which suffers somewhat from some rather wooden supporting performances and a couple of jolting plot turns.
