Synopsis

A young man and a good-looking brunette are talking in a half-empty room. The girl is envious of him for having his own flat, even though it is only modest. She doesn't have enough privacy at her parents' place. The man suggests she should move in with him, but the girl is worried about what her mother would say. In the man's opinion, she shouldn't say no to things she doesn't know. Another woman, a blonde, peeks in through a glass door, and then walks into the room, spoiling the man's performance. She warns the other girl about the man, who borrows money from women and is unreliable. Then the filming stops. The actor playing the seducer, referred to as Karel by the blonde, indicates to the brunette that he'd be interested in her outside the filming. Finally, he leaves with the blonde...
