Reserved and unsure how to meet women, Lanzelot feels a sense of urgency after three years without sex. His single life changes when his flatmate and best friend, Milan, sets up an online dating profile for him. Lanzelot uses it intensively and is soon overwhelmed by date requests.

Full plot (contains spoilers)

The reserved Lanzelot doesn’t know how to meet women. He also feels a certain sense of urgency, since he hasn’t had sex in three years. His single life finally takes a turn when his flatmate and best friend, Milan, sets up an online dating profile for him, which Lanzelot then uses intensively. Suddenly, he can hardly keep up with the date requests. Unfortunately, his encounters with the opposite sex are anything but pleasant. Lanzelot meets neurotic urban singles and, in his search for the one, gets used for bizarre sexual fantasies. But finding the woman of his dreams and winning her heart is not so easy. Only at the end does he realize that the sweet waitress at the café where he has his nightmarish encounters is the woman of his life.
