Summer. Late 1970s. A small provincial town. Twelve-year-old Piotrek lives with his mother – there is a very strong bond between them. While his father is away, Piotrek's mother starts going out almost every night. Instantly their simple and clear relationship starts to get complicated. Entangled in the affairs of the adult world, Piotrek feels lost and lonely. Spending time with his peers brings first fascinations, then disappointments. Upon his father's return, Piotrek must face an uncomfortable choice. Will he support his mother? Will he be loyal to his father? How will his painful and difficult experience influence his relationship with his mother?
