The film takes place in the Czech Republic in the post-Soviet era. The story begins at the airport , where Peter Ganek (Ivan Troyan) works. Gradually, his boss (Karel Gerzhmanek), ex-girlfriend of Yana (Zuzana Shulayova), who claims to be looking for acquaintances with the help of a telephone booth, Yana's new boyfriend and Peter's parents, gradually appear. Mother (Nina Divishkova) is engaged in charity work , and father (Miroslav Krobot) is a pensioner , who under communism was an announcer and read news chronicles . Peter's mother believes that his father is losing his mind, because not every crazy person behaves like a crazy person. Father, meanwhile, finds a young creative girlfriend (Petra Lustigova), who makes him jump with a parachute and read the communist chronicles again.
