It is a bitter story about a middle-aged man, who hates his life and other people, including himself. Adam Miauczynski, the character known from director Marek Koterski's previous films, is a 44 year-old teacher, who reads poetry during school lessons and later goes home swearing and calling his neighbours' names. The worst pain for him is the next 5 minutes of living. He doesn't accept himself and even everyday contacts with others cause his aggression. Though constantly dreaming of a romantic love, he is not bold enough to make his dreams come true. The desperate Miauczynski personalizes our own fears and obsessions, which have become so visible recently.

Adam has experienced a lot in his life, but he's still waiting for great love. He dreams of a passionate lover who will fulfill all his desires. His ex-wife always believed that a bed was only for sleeping. Adam hopes that there is a woman out there who will change his life. And he is not mistaken: a beautiful woman named Małgorzata appears on the horizon - a tigress in the guise of a modest teacher, who introduces him to the world of true passion. Blinded by love, they forget about the rest of the world. However, their relationship faces difficult moments as well - their personalities are as compatible as oil and water, and the reality of Polish life puts their love to many tests. Can their romance survive?

An idealistic scientist is encouraged by his wife to use his good looks to get ahead, but his new job carries with it temptations and traps.
