The world
of anonymous workers – theatrical tailors, painters, model makers. They perform
vital functions enabling any theatre to function, yet they are not the ones who
get credit for the final results which is a theatrical performance. The ones
who are still praised, despite the declining meaning of a theatrical actor in
general, are the performers. They consider themselves higher than the rest of
the common staff. In the movie we meet Romek a young student who lands his
first job at a theatrical tailor’s studio. He starts work with head full of
ideas about his job at the theatre, however, soon he discovers that the reality
is nothing like what he thought it would be. The theatrical unions are trying
to bring him into conflict with his more experienced colleague who dared to
argue with a spoilt and pretentious actor.
