This film has greatly to do with the effect of war upon even the smallest town's in the world. Milos is a young man who simply wants to get by in life, love his girl and retire to the inactive life just like his father. But in the midst of beginning his new job he is faced with the issue of premature ejaculation and he believes his world is over. He attempts suicide but is saved from death. We see that though Milos believes himself to be a man he doesn't reason like a man, but rather like a child. And the men that he works with act as though they are still children as well.
We watch as Hubicka, who is obsessed with women and sex, passes his duties to the younger Milos who must become the one who does the things that would be expected of a man much more experienced. But, they fall on him because Hubicka and the other men are dealing with issues that shouldn't be occurring in the station from someone in such a senior position. Thus, the responsibility to set the bomb lies on Milos who willingly does it as he has been cured of his problem by sleeping with a woman the night prior. He believes he can do anything, and he does, but he pays for it with his life.
War claims all lives, but it takes youth prematurely. We see that the actions that should be taken by men are having to be carried out by boys and by doing so they lose their lives and their futures.
