Jakub (Matej Merunka), a co-owner of the travel agency Dolce Travel, is departing from Prague for the weekend in his hometown of Telc to celebrate the birthday of his mother. Meets Ilona (Agáta Krystufková), a longtime childhood friend whom he had not seen for several years, and he embarks on a spontaneous and intense trip to the Czech border. Their initially carefree journey during which they planned to flee to Italy to pick apricots, over time becomes more frustrating. A film about the current generation of young people, their loss of orientation, lack of important values, goals, fantasies and their own opinion.
