El profesor jubilado Josef acepta un modesto trabajo, recogiendo envases retornables en un supermercado, para huir de la monotonía en la que vive con su mujer Eliska. Allí, pronto se convierte en un celestino, que empareja a sus solitarios colegas con clientas solteras y viceversa. Mientras Josef intenta arreglar una nueva relación, Eliska se pregunta por qué su marido no pasa más tiempo con ella.

Lovers & Murderers is about the ongoing war between those who have and those who want to have what the others have. The have-nots see themselves as poor victims trying to get for themselves what is justly theirs. But when the have-nots become haves, they continue to see themselves as victims of the hordes baying for what is justly theirs, and they have neither the energy nor the security to enjoy what they have obtained. The movie takes place in the microcosm of a small apartment building. The principal goal of the young people who share rooms in the building is to move into their own room and, some day, a real apartment. They scheme to get what they're after: form short-lived alliances, petition, frighten, marry, become pregnant, anything that might work. Lovers & Murderers presents Páral's vision of mankind caught in a cyclical process in which ideology pales before the pettiness, cruelty, and self-justification of human nature.

Shark in the Head unfolds into a stunning cinematic powerhouse that combines comedy and drama for a touching story about how we influence the people we meet while being profoundly affected ourselves by the colors they bring to our own lives.
