Can a happy marriage be based on cheating? Charming lady-killer Rudolf is convinced so: "A woman needs to feel she's fighting for her man, she must try hard to keep him. And most of all – she must not get bored!"
Rudolf is good at applying this wild theory in everyday life putting in loads of unrelenting vigor which is quite enviable in his early sixties. The more he struggles to understand the naivety of his unbearably correct son-in-law Ondrej, who is so snowed under with duties that he oversees how dangerously bored his wife Alice starts to be. Rudolf, the loving father and friendly father-in-law, is quick to come up with a handful of reliable hints on how to pep up the dying marriage. It's his only daughter's family happiness that's at stake, after all... Thanks to an affair with beautiful Sarlota, Ondrej actually does turn from a boring decent man into the master of all creatures, pampered by his mistress and admired by his wife. A wonderful situation, yet hardly sustainable in the long run. Not only because the real masters of all creatures are women, of course. Ondrej is in for a flood of comic situations that he faces with a disarming mixture of typically masculine characteristics – playful invention and the indestructible hope that all turns out well.
