August 1968. The Polish People’s Army division under the command of Major Grążlowa sets off with “fraternal help” to Czechoslovakia. A worn-out tank “Little Ladybird” moves as the last and gets lost after crossing the border. Major Grążlowa accompanied by her jealous husband grabs a motorbike and starts the pursuit to avoid a penalty for the mess in the division. She also won’t miss a chance to get and humiliate her lover Romek who dumped her right before the announcement of the invasion.
