The main protagonist is a clumsy and overweight teenager called Jitka Pažoutová. Her P.E. classes, run by the friendly teacher nicknamed Bohoušek, are pure torture for her. Things take a turn for the better when, during a dodge ball game, the girls win due to Jitka's "cannon shots", which are just impossible to catch. At a tournament, Jitka meets Honza Koubek. Even though he offends her at first, he apologies and convinces her to take advantage of her strength for the shot put. (Zlín Film Festival)
