A new television comedy about how the foolish boy and the plain girl found their pot of luck.Mirek the hero is a big, strong-looking young man but already draws an invalid pension. The symptoms of his illness are bouts of micro-sleep and attacks similar to epilepsy - attacks of helpless fury. His trains of thought are slow and simple. He lives with his dreams and images, and his sex life consists of frequent steamy telephone calls that cost his caring mother a lot of money. On this sex by telephone line Mirek makes the acquaintance of a mystery girl, with whose voice he falls in love platonically. These two very different people strike up a very unusual relationship which intensifies until finally they meet face to face.
