Story
The series follows in parallel two completely different worlds. Firstly, we are introduced to a group of younger adults who share a villa owned by the Perković family. 18-year-old Klara Bakić has just arrived in Zagreb to attend the audition for the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Zagreb. On the way to the faculty she becomes involved in a car accident which Ivor and Domagoj (Zagreb's elite youth) try to conceal. Sparks immediately fly between Klara and Domagoj.
Zagreb's acting world is contrasted with Zagreb's legal world, specifically the world of legal firm "Perković, Nardelli and partners". Two main families are combined through married between Petar Perkovića and Maja Lena Nardelli Perković. Maja Lena is an extremely successful young lawyer who had become partner within the legal firm of Petar's father Zvonimira, the most famous Zagreb lawyer with political-social connections, albeit questionable morals. Petar and Maja Lena are successful in their fields of law, and their marriage glows roses...from the outside. Petar is hiding an affair with acting diva Lucija Nardelli who is married to Maja Lena's brother, theatre director Matej Nardelli.
Quickly Maja Lena uncovers Petar's infidelity and throws him out of the family villa, and rents it to a group of student-actors as a means of revenge, betting on their varied parties and anticipated financial problems, knowing that Petar is sensitive to the like. Apart from the new flatmates Ivor, Kare and Domagoj, the house is home to Una Perković, Petar's younger sister who is unhappily fails her exams at the Academy of Dramatic Arts, and does everything in her power to make Klara's stay in the Villa bitter. That aside, because of her aspiring dreams she enters into a relationship with Metej in order to use him. Stella, Maja Lena's young assistant and legal assistant in the law firm Perković, also lives in the Villa. On the outside she appears to be a calm young lady but in actuality is a skillful manipulator who, together with mysterious Andrej, secretly investigate the Perković law firm.
