Paweł is a
producer of a popular talk show and now he does not get on well with his
girlfriend Agata. Although he suspects that his friend has an affair with his
girlfriend, Paweł is too weak to have a sincere conversation with his beloved
Agata. During one of the rehearsals for the new program, Paweł allows a random
man to take part in his program. As the talk show will be broadcast live, it is
a risky decision. Indeed, the guest breaks a scandal by undermining the
achievements and the position of a well-known scientist. Suddenly, the young
producer is faced with a dilemma which may impact his further career. Should he
interrupt the show or, since the arguments sound reasonable, should he allow
the man go on and speak out? Paweł takes a decision and this turbulent evening
makes him realize that he definitively needs to talk to Agata about their
fading love.
