Plot

Two brothers, swore as children that they would never have a relationship with a woman, following urgent advice from their father. As adults video store employee Max and supermarket assistant manager Jules, go out all the time and bed many girls, (and Jules often has sex in the store's warehouse with female subordinates too), but dump them just as easily. Until they both fall in love with Anna, a counselor for mentally disabled people, including Jordy, who becomes restless and violent when he can't watch porn movies. Jules and Anna decide to move in together, whereupon Max acts very cool towards Anna. Jules changes his mind, however: living together is not for him, and he also allows Max to have a relationship with Anna. Anna is initially angry with Max, also because he unintentionally caused Anna to be fired (because he gave porn DVDs to Jordy after the death of his boss and the video store closed, for which Anna is blamed). but in the end (after Jules and Max stay in prison after a clash with the police when they are out with the disabled unauthorized) things work out well between them. In between there is also the storyline of René, friend of Max and Jules, whose girlfriend Suzanne is breaking up. It will eventually work out between them, too.
