Ivana doesn’t trust him. Stand-up comedian Ira Levi agreed to an interview by Serge Beaufort, a Belgian reporter. Serge's English is terrible, which irritates Ira. At one point, Ira’s convinced Serge doesn’t understand a word he's saying. Two Brazilian lovebirds, Felipe and Lubke, are living day by day, from one dive to another. Felipe wants to sleep. Lubke wants to play.
