Nenad survived the plane crash, but doctors had to amputate his leg. Now he is bound to the earth, defeated, and forever wounded. But there is Anđelka who is with him every day. The love between the two grows day by day. Only Anđeka is able to breathe new strength into the wounded eagle. The two get married and go to live in the countryside, and the greatest proof of their love is the birth of their daughter Jelkica.
Nenad je preživeo avionsku nesreću, ali su mu lekari morali amputirati nogu. Sada je privezan za zemlju, pobeđen, i zauvek ranjen. Ali tu je Anđelka koja je svakog dana s njim. Ljubav između njih dvoje iz dana u dan raste. Samo je Anđeka u stanju da ranjenom orlu udahne novu snagu. Njih dvoje se venčaju i odlaze da žive na selu, a najveći dokaz njihove ljubavi je rođenje kćerke Jelkice.
