The film revolves around the love story of a nearly 40-year-old man named Thi (Quoc Khanh). At the age that should have been "settled down", Thi is still busy searching for his ideal woman. Thi sets ideal standards, only liking women with white skin, long legs, tall, educated, beautiful... Thi refuses the love of a female colleague just because she is not tall enough.
Running after the ideal model has pushed Thi into countless tragicomic situations, with the advice of 2 close friends played by Chi Trung and Quang Thang.
