Nina is an ambitious chef preparing to open her own restaurant. Richard is a highly sought-after gynecologist. They used to be a happy couple, but after years of marriage, they find themselves in a complicated relationship—they simply can't stand each other. Only one thing stands between them and divorce: a contract they wrote on a paper napkin one drunken night. In it, they agreed that whoever ends the relationship will not receive any of the joint assets. In a fit of desperation, Richard asks his friend Čenda, who is married to their mutual friend Alena, to seduce Nina at the opening of her new restaurant. Nina, however, finds out about the plans and plots revenge. An eye for an eye! So, the evening is full of chaos, comedic situations, and gastronomic surprises.
