Synopsis

After the death of his mother, Štěpán, now in his forties, tries to decide what to do with his life. He gets a new job as a doctor with an ambulance service, but his relationship with Ute, with whom he fell in love in the previous film, is slowly collapsing. His best friend, Kendy, asks to move in after his wife kicks him out. The two men take this reversal of fortunes with good humour, and at first, bachelorhood even has a certain appeal. Štěpán is offered the post of director at a hospital, and there he meets Anička and falls in love all over again. Anička doesn't think Štěpán is over Ute, however, and she leaves. He finds her seven months later, pregnant with his child.
