Andrzej has just quit Ichthyology studies. One day, he wakes up early in the morning, leaves his girlfriend asleep and stands before a military draft commission. He demands to be immediately drafted to learn the adult life. With a draft card in his hand and a few hours of civilian life to spare, he makes an unsuccessful attempt to tie up all loose ends. The first part of a trilogy about the fate of a young generation and Skolimowski’s feature directing debut edited from student films he made during his education at the Lodz Film School.
