Remek Wróbel is a postman and a passionate member of an amateur football team. He’s about to turn forty and he’s a bachelor. He fervently studies the encyclopaedia, exercising his extraordinary memory. Apart from his resourceful, shady businessman friend Pedro, Remek has no-one else he’d be close with. And he likes it that way. One day everything changes, and his well-organised life gets turned upside down. On top of that, now there’s a new eloquent neighbour, Marzenka, and his grandpa that he has never known before. Remek will have to learn how to make lemonade when life gives you lemons.

The film is a full-length directing debut.
