Six twenty-somethings meet at a lakeside summerhouse. This is their first time getting together since high school. Some of them have started careers, while others have not. Some of them enjoy the pleasures in life, while others vent their hidden frustrations. The seventh character is a young Ukrainian named Solomia who works at the same company as one of the evening’s protagonists, Igor. Solomia is an outsider and is at times an object of hatred on the part of Hubert, who persuades the others, drunk and lost, to take part in an act of violence against the girl.

This is the story of three characters (brothers Tomek and Jacek and their neighbor Magda), each of them is in their own way lonely and alienated. The title character makes herself secluded. Tomek's alienation results from his neurological disease, and Jacek contacts the world mainly via the Internet. This is also a film about love. Love of one brother to the other and of one alienated human being to the other. All together it creates a very universal picture with a Polish entourage.
