A widower for over 12 months, Sep suddenly runs out of the frozen foods that his wife left behind just prior to her death. Forced to fend for himself for the first time in years, Sep begins screening potential candidates for a mate, but turns the women down one by one, reasoning that they are only interested in his money. He finally lands on a Czechoslovakian widow named Paula who appeals to him on many levels (and requires regular trips across the Austro-Czechoslovakian border for regular rendez-vous).
