After Ofka’s boyfriend breaks up with her because he's been dating her best friend, the 19-year old teen is left to wonder about what really matters in life. Consumed and blinded with her own problems, she is blind to the feelings of her best male friend, Ubr. Ofka works night shifts at a 24-hour convenience store in modern-day Prague, which leads her to encounter many unique characters, who like her are awake while the rest of the city sleeps.

Despite these odd experiences, she isn‘t moved in any way until the store is held up. This horrible experience wakes Ofka out of her self-absorbed lethargy and makes her re-evaluate life and gives her a different perspective to the world around her. Night Owls is a film about love, the tenderness of friendship, and ultimately hope.
