Sergiusz, a teenager from a vocational technical school, is not understood by his family and his peers bully him because of his passion for fantasy and LARP (live action role-playing) games. In the amazing world of his imagination and adventures of sword and sorcery he is a true hero: he’s manly, brave and invincible. In the real world – not so much. The situation becomes more complicated when a new student, beautiful Helena, joins his class and he falls for her at first sight. Unfortunately, the girl starts making friends with the popular students’ group. Sergiusz feels that his chances of winning Helena’s heart over against the school trolls are close to zero. Everything changes when he unexpectedly discovers the girl’s secret, and a famous best-selling author arrives in town.

The film is the director’s feature-length debut.
