The Namemakers (2003)

Original title: Nimepanijad

Feature film | Comedy Duration 11:28

Two idling young men get an excellent idea to start making money with giving names. They post an ad, dress into suits and the sales may begin. They meet a young mother to whom they give a magnificent performance about the various procedures of conjuring up the right name for the baby. Together, they discover the name Orlando. The baptizing day will reveal whether the baby gets the name. The young men are truly surprised but then they'll get another phone call from the next client.
