Life in a Hungarian small town is slow and pretty dull for Feri and Karcsi. They kill time mostly by fishing and talking about girls. During the day, they work as a mechanic and a mailman. Feri is the shy one, devoted mostly to fishing and dreaming about catching the catfish that is supposed to be in their lake. Karcsi also dreams about other fish – he most enjoys hooking the local girls. The tranquility of their friendship is endangered when a new girl comes to work in the local post office.
