Karl is a young and enthusiastic graduate of the best television and film school in the country. His goal is to produce the best TV shows in Estonia, and to become the number one producer in the territory. Unfortunately, he is faced with a harsh reality – his ideas are too ambitious for Estonia, and besides, the market is already saturated and divided up amongst the current players.

Nevertheless, Karl is not giving up. In search of sponsors for his entertainment programme, he is attempting to produce a pilot, one that would prove his talent and help him get a foot into the entertainment world.

So begins the road to Golgotha. Using his excellent communication skills, Karl is able to convince a couple of well-known actors to host the show. Of course they have no idea what they have gotten themselves into. Each new day brings new surprises, not all of them pleasant. Liine, a former classmate, contributes greatly to the pile of problems he is facing, with circumstances forcing Karl to move in with her. Love is a winding road. Spice, embarrassment and confusion are also added by Karl’s parents, who want to accompany their son on his journey to the top of the entertainment world, no matter the cost. Will there be a breakthrough in his work and private life, or will this seemingly hopeless endeavour end in a total fiasco?
