A film devoted to the difficult fate and dramatic choices of actors during the war – whether to continue practicing their profession, performing in theaters that were openly operating and opened with the consent of the occupying authorities, and thus agree to a kind of collaboration with the enemy, or to abandon the acting profession and change careers. The author of the film presents the attitudes of actors in the General Government, primarily Warsaw artists: how they reacted to the directives of the Underground State and the resolution of the ZASP - the Secret Theater Council prohibiting its members from cooperating with open theaters.

There is a writer who in the late 1970s managed to publish a poem in the monthly "Nowy Wyraz". It was enough to become a self-confessed writer whose name began to appear in the state media. The writer takes full advantage of his privileges - he flirts with power, sympathizes with the opposition, and collapses his studies at the same time. He is saved from going to the army by an exalted essayist whose sister is the head of the psychiatric hospital in Tworki. In a psychiatric institution, a writer meets a schizophrenic who writes a novel. After his suicide, the protagonist takes over the draft, which he publishes outside of censorship under his name, thanks to which he gains fame, fame and money. August '80 breaks out....
