Konstanty, a 40-year-old artist, receives the news about his father’s death. Because his girlfriend Mila is in her last days of pregnancy, the man faces a dilemma: to attend his parent’s funeral or to assist during childbirth. He decides to stay. The child is born. Konstanty tries to adapt to being a father and tackle the associated responsibilities. However, the shock brought on by the simultaneous birth and death pulls the protagonist into an inner world of meetings with his father. Konstanty delves deeper and deeper, drifting away from reality…
