Statistics show that during their professional career, all train drivers run over a number of suicidal, careless and drunken people.
Ilija is a sixty-year-old train driver on the verge of retirement. He is the champion of running people over. Although he's completely innocent, Ilija regularly visits and lays flowers on the graves of all his victims.
One day he finds little Sima, abandoned by his parents. He raises him better than a real father, and they function as a happy little family because Sima is all Ilija has. But when Sima decides to become a train driver like him, Ilija protests, knowing how hard and stressful that job is.
As a true father, he eventually gives in.
Sima anxiously awaits his first "running over" which evades him, and Ilija begs a suicide not to jump off a bridge, but to throw himself under Sima's train.
Still, there's a happy ending.
