Lavi is, as his agent Jarda (Jakub Prachař) would say, still the same idiot, but he finally started to prosper, both in football and in his personal life. He even proposed to his girlfriend Lucia (Šárka Vaculíková), Jarda’s sister to marry him… At a wedding that cost a fortune, they find out that he already has an eight-year-old son, which will definitely not please the newlyweds. Not to lose his wife on the wedding day, to take care of the child, which is far from him, to get somewhere higher from Vyšehrad, or to fight with the practices of a certain football Daddy … He just rushes like an avalanche – from one problem to the other!
