A short distance from Závia lies Hokuteple and there is paradise. Everyone imagines him in his own way, just close your eyes. Lemonade flows in the rivers, ice cream falls from the sky and chocolate grows right in the pockets of girls and boys. This endless fairy tale about a children's paradise was told to Konrád by his mother before going to bed, and then both of his parents died in a car accident. He lost his childhood paradise, but he did not forget Hokuteple. He grew up with his uncle and aunt in a small town, and only as an adult did he realize how lonely he was, that his bitter aunt and clueless uncle did not replace his family. His emotional upbringing was provided by three girls. Five years older nurse Ema, the same old friend from the neighborhood Dora, with whom he grew up, went to school and studied at university, and a few years younger Olivia, the sister of Konrád's best friend from the faculty. It was only thanks to them that he was not swallowed up by a lonely childhood, but still, even in adulthood, Konrád is bound by a strange timidity and indecision, as if he wanted to hide in his mother's Hokuteple. But that's not possible, Konrád is a man, and getting closer to the paradise he lost in childhood means for him not to be alone.
