Episode #1.1

Jakub (Jiri Havelka) hits Sarka (Ana Geislerova) with his bike. After he treats her injury in his little boat rental on the bank of the Vltava river, he invites her to dinner as an apology. Sarka visits her mother Carmen (Jana Svandova), who, having lost her popularity as an actress, is drowning her sorrows in liquor, as always. Zuzana (Jitka Cvancarova) and Milan (Hynek Cermak), a married couple, are facing a deep marriage crisis caused mainly by Milan's infidelities, which Zuzana knows about. Zuzana's colleague Ema (Anna Polívková) searches for love online. Her first date is catastrophic - her blind date leaves under the pretense of parking his car. Ema is in despair, thinking she is going to stay single forever because she is ugly. However, she ignores her colleague Karel (Radek Holub) though he's courting her. Jakub unexpectedly leaves his date with Sarka and rushes to his sister Halka, a heavily depressed lesbian artist. Unfortunately, he does not manage to save her.

Episode #1.3

Ema and Milan start calling each other frequently and are set to meet for the first time. Ema is afraid that Milan will not want her because of her appearance. Therefore, she pretends to be a famous actress who needs to stay anonymous. Milan, alias Mustang, agrees that they will meet in complete darkness in a hotel on the river. Sarka consults with her friend, the lesbian masseuse Linda (Jana Kolesarova), and decides that she will not let Jakub go so easily. She then visits him at work with a supposedly broken bike. They are interrupted by Marketa, who comes to tell Jakub about her pregnancy. Ema is glowing after her great sex with Milan. She gives her massage appointment with Linda to Zuzana to calm Zuzana down after her unceasing family quarrels. After the massage, Linda tells Zuzana she will not massage her again, because she wouldn't be able to stay professional. Zuzana leaves, offended. Afterwards, she finds out about one of Milan's infidelities when she calls the last received call on his phone. On the other side of the line, Sarka answers the phone.
