Becoming a Minister's wife, Zivka changes her life style and becomes a first-class lady. But her "nouveau riche" attitude lasts very short, because the scandal which she produces forces her husband to resign. Desperate, she watches the Minister's carriage which goes in one direction, while she walks in another - her old life.

Postavši ministarka, Živka menja svoj dotadašnji način života I postaje svetska dama. Njena pokondirenost traje kratko, jer zbog skandala koje izaziva, njen muž mora da podnese ostavku. Očajna, ona gleda za ministarskim fijakerom koji odlazi na jednu stranu, dok se ona vraća na drugu - u stari život.
