An urban drama about Kamil, a wannabe-rapper who should be getting his life and career going but instead gets high, roams around the city and starts an affair with a bored, rich housewife Iwona.

Statement of the Director/s
Kamil, Iwona and other characters don’t have access to their real desires; using clichés at every turn makes them unable to see a human being either in themselves or in other people. Their world lacks love and a caring look at another person.

The fact that Dorota Masłowska’s book was written in a form of a freestyle rap narrative gave an opportunity to create a unique rap musical. It was crucial to us to translate the poetry of words into the poetry of images, and thus to obtain feature and visual rhythms and rhymes in order to make the film coherent on all levels.
