action
A man gets up in the morning in front of his girlfriend, who is still naked in bed and sleeping. He begins with great vigor to set up various devices in the room that appear extremely threatening. When he leaves the house, he sets several fuses in motion that set the apparatus in motion. The woman is catapulted out of bed, showered, dressed and carried to the breakfast table, where she is automatically poured coffee and a toast flies onto her plate. A crossbow opens the breakfast egg and an apparatus delivers a photo of the man that contains a message of love. The woman is not very enthusiastic, however, as most of the - well-intentioned - actions went wrong.
