Thirty-something Włodek, a would-be graduate of Russian language and literature and a modest bookshop employee, leads a boring, flat life with his wife Hanka, his son and in-laws. He lacks any professional ambitions and interests. Włodek feels completely dominated by his wife and his mother-in-law. One day, on the pretext of buying cigarettes he leaves the house with the intention of never coming back. By chance he meets Polish Studies student Irena and gets involved in an affair with her. Irena is determined to make him the man of her dreams. Almost against his will, she tries to promote him as a translator and even writer, fortune's darling and the favourite of Warsaw society. But her efforts are in vain. (Warsaw Film Festival)
