The monodrama LOVU ZDAR! (HAPPY HUNTING!) is set at a small Czech hunting ball. At this ball we meet the host and gamekeeper Johny Sausage (Hans Wurst). His home is the forest and his most important task is to protect it. He is a somewhat awkward character, but boasts the ability to catch a rabbit with his bare hands. His greatest experience was once an encounter with a "mythical stag", that majestic 22-pointer. On their first encounter, Johny decided not to kill the animal and set it free. Since then, there has been a very special relationship between the two. Finally, there is a midnight surprise at the ball.

In HAPPY HUNTING! the hunt becomes a metaphor for human relationships and twisted desires. Through the fragmentary narrative, the audience gets to know a man who gradually transforms into an aggressor and manipulator. The roots of radicalism are exposed, as are forms of toxic masculinity. Dominance becomes not only a physical but also a psychological weapon: anyone can become an aggressor. Anyone can become prey!
