Karol, a cameraman, takes his girlfriend Emilka and her dog Pucci to a provocative artistic performance which is an expression of objection to the police brutality. Soon, things get out of hand and the young couple’s idealism and relationship are put to the serious test. Two brothers, Michał and Maciej Edelman, a director and a cameraman, once again focus on the Polish reality in their filmmaking career. In the documentary study Last Knights of the Right Side presented at the Krakow Film Festival in 2020, they showed the National Radical Movement brigade from Łódź as seen by its members. Now, the story is fiction well-grounded in fact.
