An owner of a carpet shop decides to save his collapsing business and hire marketing specialists. Unfortunately, instead of experts, two fraudsters, who go by the names Kebab and Horoscope respond to the advertisement. Their arrival and the “corrective programme” implemented ad hoc will not only change the company and the lives of its employees, but also trigger a chain of unexpected events, in which the leading roles will be played by: a shy cashier, who shares her apartment with a neurotic mother; an accountant, who tries to find true love on the Internet; a catty porter, and an unpredictable electrician, whose greatest fear is… high voltage. Thanks to this kaleidoscope of personalities, the two conmen ready to do everything will soon realise that life can be just as sophisticated, as a pattern on the most expensive Arabian carpet.
