- Synopsis
- It's the opening night of Mario's art photography show in Madam Poof's exclusive art gallery. The theme is female nudes. Mario is drunk and hitting on an elderly lady, Madame Torisse, a famous art buyer from France. Scared of losing a client, Madame Poof kicks Mario out of the gallery. She's shocked when Madame Torisse buys out the entire collection.
  
  After being kicked out of his own art show, Mario wanders on the streets. He meets Nina, a painter. They go together to a bar and have fun. Nina goes to the toilet, but Mario is already making out with another girl when she gets out. Angry, Nina leaves. The next day, Mario decides to go see Nina. At first, she doesn't want to talk to him, but he talks her into spending a day with him, so he can show her he's a nice guy after all. Nina teases Mario the whole day through, but whenever he tries to get more intimate, she just turns him down.
  
  Before leaving for France, Mario visits his father, George, who lives in a retirement house. Since George is a big wine aficionado, Mario promises to bring him a nice bottle of red wine.
  
  The exhibition show in Paris is a hit. In just one night, Mario has become the hot artist of the moment. He receives an offer from the owner of a famous French wine mark to do the pictures for the following year's calendar. Mario accepts the gig but asks to get paid with the finest bottle of wine. As the party develops, Mario meets many strange and eccentric characters. Emira, a veiled young woman, the daughter of an oil magnate, seems to be the only normal person there. She's chaperoned by seven veiled female escorts, whose mission is to ensure Emira remains chaste. Mario is intrigued and tries his best to seduce her. Emira reveals that she has a vow of celibacy - she's obliged by her father to remain a virgin until she gets married.
  
  In the south of France, Mario obtains the promised rare bottle of wine after the shooting for the wine calendar. But when he returns to his hotel, all of his things are missing. There is a letter with a kiss on the envelope and one single phrase: "Come to the port ." He goes there to discover Emira's yacht. For a while, Mario has fun with Emira and her female escorts, but he soon figures out that he's been kidnapped and can't leave the yacht without Emira's consent. She has decided to marry him and doesn't take "No" for an answer. They sail to Italy, and Mario manages to escape during an opera show.
  
  Back in Macedonia, Mario is still not safe. Emira has tracked him down and awaits him in his atelier with her father and his thugs. Happily for Mario, Emira's father doesn't like him at all, and he forbids their marriage. Mario is free.
  
  During his trip, Mario and Nina were sending each other teasing SMS messages with photos, each trying to convince the other that they were having more fun by themselves. As his road trip adventure is over, Mario goes to Nina's place, and they kiss. Maybe Mario is finally ready for a genuine and honest relationship.
