A comedic story about the beginning of one seemingly simple relationship of two young singles.

Denisa is a young, free and extroverted businesswoman who works as a financial counselor.

Her younger sister, Aneta, is her exact opposite, because she is introverted, married, and has a young son. She is unemployed and works part-time as a courier on bike.

On the same floor of the house, right next to Denisa’s apartment, moves in Mrs. Weber, who is not a nice or easygoing neighbor at all.

Robert is a single young man who works in an advertising agency, likes to work out, most of all he enjoys running. On his run sometimes he takes his pal Tomáš.

One day, Denisa and Robert meet accidentally at a park bench. Denisa takes some time off to relax in the park one sunny summer day, as one of her business meetings got canceled. Robert is in the park, as per usual, running his daily dose of mileage. When Denisa finds Robert’s wallet in the park, which he lost during his run, they get to know each other, and sparks fly off from the beginning. And so they agree to meet later that day for dinner, where they both have a wonderful time. Two days later these young people want to go to a concert of a famous band, which is unfortunately sold out. Luckily, thanks to Denisa’s friends, they manage to get two tickets to this hot show. But one day before the concert, however, Denisa learns about the unexpected arrival of a foreign client, whom she cancelled meetings twice in the past. There is a potential of great contract, so it is no longer possible to renounce the third time. Therefore Denisa meets with Aneta and asks her to go to the concert with Robert instead of her. She tells her information about Robert and also gives her instructions on how to behave – to be more open, not as per her usual introverted self.

Aneta goes to the concert with Robert and from now on, the easy-flowing story of this play changes dramatically. The meeting at the concert will fundamentally change lives of Aneta and Robert, but also of Denisa, Mrs. Weber, Tomáš, and also Denisa’s ex Karel.

This dialog-driven sitcom contains a number of surprising plots, humor, irony, blunders, misunderstandings, and manipulation with the spectator’s perception of characters, as well as the whole story.

Jarda is a middle-aged man who has been married to Simona, who’s a bit older than him, for three years. She already feels that her biological clock is ticking, and therefore she tries to turn every right moment with Jarda into a fertile one. Jarda consoles her that soon it will happen for sure, but he is frustrated by the planned routine of their marital duties. That is why he spends most of his time with his friends at the pub. His friend Martin once makes a complaint about how his pregnant wife changed during pregnancy, especially emotionally – she had her moods that kept changing every minute. Jarda responds to it, that this is just women in general, and if men could get pregnant, everything would be different.

The next day, Jarda wakes up with morning sickness. He and Simona attribute this to yesterday’s binge drinking. A few days later, Jarda is still sick from his stomach, his mood change, and in the hospital they find a very surprising diagnosis – he is pregnant! This moment marks a massive change in the lives of the married couple. Jarda learns about the realities of pregnancy and Simona, despite the initial irritation that he took on her job, is looking forward to the fact that soon they will no longer be a childless couple. But can they keep Jarda’s pregnancy as a secret from the outside world and pretend that it is Simona who’s pregnant? Will Jarda’s friends notice his transformation and what will be the reaction of Simona’s gynecologist Ivan, to whom she sends her pregnant husband?

This sitcom describes with humor and irony the differences between men and women in thinking and behavior.

Jarda is married, middle-aged man. He could be quite content, only if he was not haunted by the debt, which his wife created by shopping over the limit. In addition, a young colleague at his office makes fun of him, telling him that he´s a wimp, wears a suit and speaks in proper language, and even if he would bet an interesting amount of money for Jarda to get a little tattoo on a hidden place on his body, he would not do it. But Jarda takes on the challenge and the same day he pays a visit to a nearby tattoo saloon. In the tattoo saloon Jarda learns from the tattoo artist, that his friend is now looking for a man to conduct some sociological research and he´s offering some incredible money for it. In addition, Jarda, he says, might be just the right person for it. When Jarda visits “the friend” at her office, he learns that for half a million he would have to get a tattoo on his forehead, which must be visible for a whole month! Although Jarda needs the money more than ever before, he refuses the offer. He works at a very serious office after all!

The next day, when his pregnant wife and her boss (who´s also her secret lover) belittle him at his own house, telling him he´s a wimp and he cannot take care of his family financially, Jarda decides to get the tattoo, and the money with it. He can keep it up for the whole month for sure and he´s going to show everybody, what kind of money he can make in a month! With the money he will pay all his wife´s debts, and they will still have some leftover money to save for the time when their baby is born. But nothing is as simple as it seemed to Jarda at first…

This black sitcom shows with humor and irony what people are willing to do for money, without considering the results of such “great” opportunities.

Cast: 5 men, 2 women
