A romantic comedy set in contemporary times, when - by way of exception - it isnt the poor and honest girl who strikes gold, but a poor and not quite honest male music teacher.Mikuláš Mysliveček teaches violin playing at a music school. As a teacher he is paid a desperately low salary, and so he makes an extra penny by playing at a nightclub in the evenings. But he still doesnt make enough. He has a very dominating girl-friend who wants them to get married, an eccentric father whose antics arent cut short neither by his age, nor by the rules of the old folks home where he is living; and last but not least, Mikuláš has a big dog. The man is so kind-hearted that he tends to be used by others. When his dog his best friend causes yet another expensive accident, Mikuláš is really broke. The only solution he can see is to become a paid companion to rich ladies. But will this really be the best solution?
