The main protagonist is cabbie Marcel who happens to bring home an egg with a golden shell from a grocery. The young man’s girlfriend Irena resolves to track down the hen that laid the egg. Once the couple obtain a suitable rooster for the miraculous hen their breeding operation in a high-rise flat successfully takes off. However, complaints from neighbours and other complications soon cause the pair to part ways. Not long after both Marcel and Irena realise that their love for one another is more important than riches… The lead roles in the 1980 picture went to Jan Kanyza and Taťjana Medvecká.
