Plot
A young countryman, Štěpán Koláček (Václav Neužil), who has just returned from a stay in England, gets a job as a night receptionist at the run-down Libeň Hotel Meteor, where his old uncle František (Ivan Trojan) is already employed. Štěpán falls in love with his colleague Pavlína (Martha Issová), who is a daily receptionist at the hotel. He therefore only sees her when there is a shift change. In addition, Štěpán has a more successful partner - he is Pavlína's partner, die-hard Sparta fan and occasional lover of hotel manager Tereza (Lenka Krobotová), hotel maintenance worker David (David Novotný). Tereza is pursuing her dream of getting a fourth star for the three-star Hotel Meteor. Her phlegmatic ex-husband Theodor (Martin Myšička), who holds the post of hotel director, does not help her in any way. His only interest is in improving himself in the Chinese game of mahjong. The story thus follows the difficult journey to obtain the fourth star, spiced up by the vicissitudes of various workplace relationships between more or less bizarre characters.
