A publicistic film about the problem that arose after the partial restitution of some Bulgarian factories. The story concentrates on the lives of three heirs of well-known factory-owning families from Sliven. Each of them, today already an old-age pensioner, has had incredible hardships in their active life, persecuted for the sole reason that they were heirs of their fathers and grandfathers. Today, when persecution and repressions are history, when the restitution is a fact, those people are faced with a quite complex and contradictory situation in their attempts, in spite of all obstacles, to become textile manufacturers and to continue the family tradition. Constant pogroms in Bulgaria inevitably lead to everything having to start anew every 50-60 years.
