Helenka, a textile student, invents the ideal man, who is the envy of all her friends. The dreamy and brooding Helenka defends herself against her complexes with an imaginary lover, her more realistic friend Zuzka would also prefer the dream Patrik, but in the end she will probably be happy with the less ideal Honza, and the self-confident vulgar nymphomaniac Sylva flits like a butterfly from one lover to the next, only to end up waiting for the dream Patrik.
