Antek, a regular boy from a rich home with patriotic traditions and passion for classical music, fell in love head over heels. The object of his affection is Kuba, a teenage drug dealer. The boys have nothing in common. How to initiate a meeting? Antek does not take drugs, but he is in love, so he continues to buy fixes. Eventually, the boys have a chance to spend a longer evening together. Antek has a plan and Kuba has a secret mission. Can anything go wrong? This romantic comedy of errors smoothly transforms into social satire to end with an eruption full of emotions. Fun and games, with a pinch of salt, is guaranteed.
