Synopsis
Five girls with different professions came together to prepare for an international parachuting contest. During training the five beauties are blown into the arms of nice young men who, hit by cupid’s arrow, fall in love with the girls fallen from the sky. And vice versa. But trainer Hannes underwent the experience before: a girl fell in love and the promising team couldn’t win because she got pregnant. In order to prevent similar incidents, he demands a vow of chastity from his protégés… Everyone knows that this cannot work. The boys have to live through crazy adventures chasing the “heavenly” girls in the air and on the ground but they succeed because they help each other out. Even the trainer has to accept the fact that you cannot prohibit love. The events in this film are neither ordinary nor are they unrealistic. They are very merry and the girls reach their goals in two respects: in sports and in love.
