Once upon a time there were two priests

Teacher Petar Petrović arrives in the village. Both priests, Priest Ćira and Priest Spira, immediately recognize him as an ideal candidate for a son-in-law. A lively race begins that will mark their relationship: who will succeed in endearing the teacher to his family. This episode sets the stage for the rivalry, introduces key characters (wife Persa and Sida, as well as daughters Jula and Melanija) and introduces an atmosphere of petty-bourgeois scheming.

The rivalry over the teacher escalates. The priests use all possible tactics: from flattery and excessive hospitality to subterfuge and attempts to embarrass the rival side. The intrigues become increasingly complex, and the popadis Perseus and Sid actively participate in the competition, encouraging their husbands to be more persistent in the fight for the "better son-in-law".

An event that will be talked about even as far away as Timisoara

The conflict reaches its climax. The desperate moves of the priests become more dramatic and comical at the same time. However, at the very peak of the conflict, both priests finally realize the absurdity of their situation. The series ends with reconciliation, the realization that their daily rivalry, despite all the arguments, is actually a form of unbreakable bond and unique friendship that gives them meaning in their provincial everyday life.
