A few days before his son’s First Communion, Michał (Tomasz Kot) returns to his hometown to run an errand for his boss. He is to pick up an imported car from customs and return home as soon as possible. But then things take on a different turn. Michał has to stay in town for a few days. He has to wait. As he walks through the city streets, he encounters people he used to be close with; he visits familiar places. Something awakens inside him; something he had long forgotten about. He tries to fight for it.
