Synopsis: “Attractive woman at end of twenties seeks man for relaxing hours, adventure and friendship. He should be witty, intelligent and impotent”. So was worded Carmen’s contact advertisement given to a Cybercafé. She’s seeking a dream man to cuddle and love her, but one who knows where to keep his hands where they belong, and not just in bed. The ad draws a hefty response. When she finally finds the man for her among the candidates, she kind of wishes his impotence would vanish as quickly as a common cold.
