Long-term unemployed buddies Mike and Alfred are recruited by their old friend Rasto to work as ice-cream sellers on the beach. They are supposed to be competitors but soon the "invisible hand of the market" brings them together again. The short film comedy is inspired by the well-known "ice-cream seller on the beach" dilemma which American economist Harold Hotelling expounded in 1929 in his essay "Stability in Competition".
