Angelo is a lover of women. Well, at least the idea of women. Well, make that sex with women. For Angelo, the pursuit and acquisition of sex is serious business. It's practically a full time job! He collects and catalogues his conquests, rating them on a well-rounded assortment of categories. But, when Angelo meets Alba, he gets a little surprise. Alba is searching for love and has her own definition of what constitutes love. She interprets the phrase "prisoner of love" quite literally, much to Angelo's dismay. Funny how a little bondage can do wonders for a fledgling romance.

It wouldn't be so bad if Maria had faith in an all powerful being, but sitting in the pew for what she calculates is over 640 hours is enough. She doesn't want to be there. She doesn't want to be listening to her father, the vicar. And she certainly does not, capital N-O-T, not want to go through with her confirmation. Maria just wants to have a Coke at the local cafe. She want to grow breasts and meet boys. And wearing make-up once in a while would be nice. Unfortunately, when your father is a "man of God", and revered by the entire community, you have a slight obstacle to overcome.

A story that starts where other romantic comedies end...

Ida is the ideal woman. She?s still as hot as she was when she was twenty. She is an ambitious architect and loving mum, and she takes a great deal of responsibility at both home and work. It is far from easy to find time for everything when she gets promoted.

Mathias is the ideal man?funny, handsome in a shabby way and a great dad. But he?s also a bit sloppy and never quite seems to finish things he initiates. Unfortunately, he does not always think ahead and buys a sailing boat without asking for permission.
