Au cours de l'été de ses 10 ans, dans un décor baigné par le soleil d'une lumière dorée, Stefek observe les trains défiler dans la petite gare de son village polonais. Elevé par sa mère qui tient une modeste épicerie, et épaulée par sa grande soeur de 17 ans, il ne perd pas espoir que son père revienne.Il s'amuse de bouts de ficelles et se persuade qu'il peut jouer avec le destin. Un jour, assis avec sa soeur sur le banc de la gare, Stefek voit un homme, monter dans un des trains. Il est persuadé qu'il s'agit de son père. Il séjourne près de la gare en semant ses pièces de monnaie sur les rails et en jouant de ses soldats de plomb "porte bonheur" pour que le destin lui sourit et fasse revenir son père.

Kryminalni was a Polish crime drama television series that aired on TVN network from September 18, 2004 until May 24, 2008. It ran for 8 seasons and 101 episodes were broadcast in total. It was created by Polish director and screenwriter Piotr Wereśniak and produced by MTL Maxfilm studio.

The three main characters were Adam Zawada, an experienced, tough cup, his younger colleague Marek Brodecki and Barbara Storosz, an ambitious female officer who in the first season joins the team just after graduating. Although none of the main actors had had star status before the series debuted, all three of them rose to prominence and popularity during the 5-year-long run. Many of Poland's best known actors guest starred, usually playing roles of people involved in just one particular investigation. The serial was one of the most popular in Poland: each week it had an audience of 4 million.

The dark world of crime: murders, racketeering, drugs, kidnappings. There are no rules here. Working in this world makes cops cynical and ruthless. There is a fine line between them and criminals - will any of them cross it? The main characters are officers from the Department for Counteracting Criminal Terror and Homicides. The action of the series is an extension of the threads that appear in the feature film. It presents in a realistic way the brutal and dark world of crime that officers encounter on a daily basis. They're not just tracking down murderers. They fight racketeering, kidnapping, drug trafficking while struggling with their own day to day life and problems.
