The beautiful loser experience of the unambitious musician Georgy Hillmaier could have gone on forever in his tingeling two-man band. If he hadn’t been kicked out of his apartment and his band buddy hadn’t died of a sudden heart attack. But now he’s running on empty. Georgy stays with his sister Gitti, who works as a beauty consultant and waxing specialist.
After initial skepticism, she supports him in his new business idea and begins to refer Georgy as a callboy to her customers. Equipped with a raccoon belly, but with feelings and another impressive argument, Georgy is popular with the ladies. Business is booming and everything seems to be in order with his new life. Until he falls in love with the driving instructor Jadwiga, who, of all things, is complicated in sex matters. A callboy in love? A rather impractical state of mind in this profession. Georgy has to decide – for love or for his job. At least that’s what he thinks …
