What happens

Ko poje čuk je slovenska TV drama iz leta 1981. Ana Zemljič, posesivna ženska brez otrok v zrelih letih, želi za vsako ceno ohraniti svojo kmetijo, tudi z grožnjo s samomorom. Njen mož Štefan, dobrodušni pol kmet in pol delavec s telesno hibo, in mladi posinovljenec Dominik hočeta oditi v mesto. Ana se zaplete z njim v ljubezensko razmerje in izraža surov prezir do njegove zavožene prave matere, ki jo ima Dominik rad. Na koncu Ana stori samomor, Štefan pa da kmetijo na prodaj kot vikend.
