Synopsis

Vaclav Hrubes and Josef Mares are pals: They have no money; they are neither too smart nor too handsome. Hrubes works as a ticket inspector, Mares has no job at all. However he is a prominent member of the fan club of the Czech pop star Hana Zagorova and tries to lose weight each month with a different method. Both intensely long for love, women and a nice job. When his despotic father kicks Hrubes out of his home, his mother is on the brink of a nervous breakdown and Mares's grandmother dies, our two guys start to live together. Life in their bachelor's household is somewhat dull. Suddenly the film director Karpatti turns up from Slovakia. After the flop of his movie The Opening of a Non-Existing Supermarket he cannot even show up in Bratislava - and so he is ready to offer his bold projects abroad. And Hrubes and Mares are exactly what he is looking for...
