Karol is an unsuccessful researcher in his early thirties. Due to his
low-paid job, his marriage with Iwona is in severe crisis. When compared to the
properties of other resourceful and well-off people, their little apartment in
a block of flats is for Iwona the evidence of her husband's decrepitude and
lack of commitment. Therefore, Karol, who is very modest, idealistic and full
of sense of guilt, lets his wife get him a job. He becomes a personal secretary
of a millionaire homosexual photographer. However, the expectations of the
photographer are not clear. Karol enters an ambiguous game in which his
relationship with Iwona undergoes a difficult test.
