A subtle story of difficult family relations. Marcin was taken away from his alcoholic parents when he was twelve and he spent the rest of his childhood in a children's home. After he comes of age, he comes back to his family home and tries to get on with his life: finds a job, pursues his passions, tries to re-establish contact with his father. At times it seems that the broken ties can be mended – the director captures intimate moments of true closeness between the father and the son. Yet these moments are constantly accompanied by alcohol-induced degradation. Marcin has to make a choice: should he fight with his father's addiction or think about his own future?
