The film revolves around Michal, a young waiter whose bad luck spirals into a web of complications after he's robbed. The pacing feels just right, balancing moments of tension with absurdity. Tomáš, the taxi driver, adds a layer of camaraderie, while Adamec, the bellhop, injects a palpable sense of danger.
