Petr and Richard are among those for whom fixed working hours are a nightmare. They want to be masters of their own time and not be subordinate to anyone. Petr also wants to fulfill his dream of becoming a great composer. The shackles of a regular job terrify them both. But money is a necessity, and they have to earn it somehow. How about trading in lies? Problems arise when they stop just trading in lies and start living with them in their private lives. Both realize that the situation is getting out of hand and that something needs to be done. Perhaps love is stronger than lies... But isn't love ultimately the biggest lie in their lives? Who will finally break out of the vicious circle? Petr or Richard?
