When motorcycle police officer, Tina, is cheated on for the countless time by a man she had given her heart and soul to, she decides to start behaving like a man. From now on, she’s only going to ‘fuck for fun’. For the emotional side she has her best friend, Fleurtje, the most intimidating nursery school teacher ever. Meanwhile, uber womaniser, Sven, has just heard his father, Marcus, has died of a heart attack. Although he tells everyone Marcus died on the job, that is to say in bed with 24 year-old blond twins, the truth is Marcus died in complete loneliness. The thought of ending up like his father terrifies Sven. He decides to check out what it’s like to be in a relationship. Since Tina and Sven both live in De Pijp and hang out in the same cafés, it happens that they seek each other out for their respective ‘research’. This results in a completely different outcome than either of them had expected and loads of humorous situations.
