Polish province. 20-year-old Stan quits his job at a car repair shop. He joins his friends, Gobi, Meta and the pack leader Anka, who live by mugging people and robbing stores. One evening Joanna, who is returning home late, falls victim to the gang. Under pressure from the group, Stan, wanting to prove that he is as tough as the rest, rapes the girl. Shortly after the incident, the boy breaks his leg and is taken to the hospital. In one of the nurses he recognizes his victim. However, the girl does not know who he is. A sense of guilt grows in the boy.

After graduating, Ania and Roman Miłobędzcy moved to the Beskid Mountains to fulfill their youthful dreams. It was here that their children were born. After a dozen or so years of farming in the Beskid meadows, they were close to bankruptcy. They took advantage of a proposal from businessman Bury and traded their Beskid farm for a villa in a town near Warsaw. Their children, Ola, Janek, and Zuza, were deeply affected by the move. The family's hopes were mixed with sadness. The parents' plan proved a disaster. Instead of a villa, they found a dilapidated wooden house, inhabited, moreover, by the quirky and eccentric Franciszek Alba. It quickly became clear that the Miłobędzcy family had fallen victim to a fraud.
