The comedy unfolds in the attractive environs of the neverending filming of a TV serial. The performance opens up with wonderful interplay of relationships, characters, situations, conflicts, big hopes and ambitious plans interwoven with a love motif. At the end of this bizarre story we are surprised by the harmony created from the discord of authentic human emotions. Emil, is a friendly and good-natured sitcom actor who has perpetual bad luck. He witnesses a crime and, not wanting to testify, has to change his identity and completely disappear just at the time when he is offered a starring role and the girl of his dreams is willing to return his feelings. After some time he returns to the serial with a new, grotesquely ugly face which the media uses to turn Emil into the star of the serial and the idol of its viewers. He then decides to return to his former likeness, putting his life in jeopardy, but giving him a chance to experience true love. (official distributor synopsis)
