Newspaper writer Felix has come to the brink of divorce after his relationship with his wife Francis broke down. Felix, who was kicked out of the house by his wife, had nowhere to go, so he had to temporarily move in with his friend Oscar. Although Felix and Oscar have been friends for many years, their living habits and personalities are completely different. As long as they stay together, they will quarrel, but they never tire of it.
Oscar is a baseball commentator, eccentric, scruffy, and horny, and his life is a mess with no order at all. And Felix's biggest hobby is cleaning the room and cooking delicious meals, which requires a very high quality of life. How can two people like this live together without conflict. But what really turned Oscar and Felix was because of two women.
Next door to Oscar's house lived two sisters from England, Ceci and Gwen, both single and stylish. In order to help Felix out of the shadow of the divorce, Oscar can also take advantage of this opportunity to get close to the two girls, so he invites Ceci and Gwen to have dinner at home. Felix felt very nervous. Although he prepared a hearty meal, he still didn't know what to use as a topic of conversation in front of the two girls. Just when Oscar went to the kitchen to pour wine, Felix talked to the two girls about his family, children, and marriage, and he burst into tears because he couldn't control his emotions. Sisi and Gwen were infected by Felix, and they both remembered their sad past and burst into tears.
When Oscar came out of the kitchen excitedly with a glass of wine, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. At the same time Felix forgets the meals in the oven because of chatting, causing all those carefully prepared delicacies to become black charcoal. Fortunately, the girls didn't mind, and even took the initiative to invite Oscar and Felix to dinner at their home. Oscar was very excited. He could see that the girls liked Felix, but when he took Felix to dinner, he was rejected by Felix. He was still immersed in grief, and no matter how much Oscar persuaded him, he would not go to the appointment.
Oscar was furious about this, and the two quarreled. In desperation, Oscar blurted out and asked Felix to move out of his home. Although Oscar regretted this, he was unwilling to give in in anger, and had to watch his good friend leave the house. However, Oscar's regret soon turned into jealousy and anger. It turned out that Felix temporarily moved to Ceci and Gwen's house, and the two girls came to pick up Felix's remaining luggage. Felix proudly dragged the two girls to Oscar's house to demonstrate. Oscar was furious with anger, but he couldn't show it all. It was really hard for this happy couple.
