Sticken, Häckeln, Stricken

Handsome Dutchman Stijn is the star of an advertising agency with his buddy Frenk and a hot womanizer. The boys start their own agency and Stijn marries colleague Carmen, who accepts his incurable greed for truly meaningless one-night-stands. Even fatherhood and a move to the boring country go well, until Carmen gets breast cancer. Now their lives are turned upside-down, maybe wrecked.

The film opens in the early 20th century with a French railway engineer, Monsieur Jolie, receiving authorisation from Iranian monarch Ahmad Shah Qajar to take a group of musicians to Paris in order to make the first-ever recording of Persian classical music. The talented musicians gather under the direction of Master Delnavaz and make the journey, only to find themselves abandoned and penniless in the French capital. Will they manage to overcome the obstacles that fate has thrown in their path…?
