He is in so much rush that he takes the wrong keys. When faced with the need to return to Warsaw, he is saved by Waldek, a local “native”, who offers him a place to put up a tent. Their relation becomes much more friendly, when they go fishing together, make fire and drink some alcohol. But the tragedy is impending.

Paweł Słomkowski was born in Bydgoszcz. He is an independent director, actor and screenwriter. His films are characterised by a well-thought structure and saturated with hidden emotions. Słomkowski presents seemingly ordinary events with unexpected endings and forces us to reflect on life.
