Synopsis:
The film shows the story of a student, Franciszek, during the stormy 60s. At the time of the writing his doctorate, he finds out about his fatal heart disorder. Still, he is not too worried about it and continues to live normally – first he has a relationship with an older woman, and then marries. In his search for the absolute answers, he turns to religion, and later again to science. It seems possible, however, that the answers he is looking for don’t even exist…
