Presenting a different approach to life, the three brothers meet at their father's funeral.

Jan, the café pianist, comes from the countryside. The talented boy was taken care of by an old organist. Jan then studied at the conservatory, where he made friends with Paweł, an undisciplined but very talented composer. Paweł's works gain publicity abroad, but he himself, unable to bear human envy and accept the loss of his beloved girl, commits suicide ... Jan's father dies, and soon his mother ...

Lonely, old parents living on a small farm look forward to their son's visit. The man finally shows up one day, but he separates himself from his parents with a newspaper. Inadvertently, he drops a slice of bread. His father picks it up respectfully.

The film is a praise of human willingness to take on the endless challenges of fate. The loaf of bread a prisoner receives each day is used to patch thousands of holes in the cell walls. They are inhabited by nerve-wracking busy insects that flit constantly from hole to hole. When the work is finished, the prisoner is unexpectedly transferred to another cell. The new loaf of bread held in his hands freezes dramatically halfway to his mouth: the walls of this cell are also strewn with thousands of holes.

A penal gymnastics session is underway during a roll call in a concentration camp. A brutal voice shouts furious commands: "nieder - auf!" (down – up!). One of the prisoners will not obey the commands, another one will almost survive

A swarm of locusts teases a herd of horses. A four-wheeled vehicle drives into the herd. It pulls behind its riders, the horses, and the insects. The gallop is more and more dynamic, gravediggers prepare coffins for crazy drivers.

Created with many techniques, an animated reflection on the passing of time, youth and fame.

A public toilet cleaner dreams of a bird seen in a cage at the exhibition. She lives a modest, austere life and saves money obsessively. On the day of the purchase, she takes the bird outside in a box and sets it free.
