In a 1980s Warsaw, a young man named Jakub finds himself trapped in a labyrinth of decisions that will change the course of his life. After missing a train, he is forced to take an alternative route that leads him to a series of unexpected encounters. Through a sequence of events that seem random, Jakub becomes a witness to the consequences of seemingly insignificant choices, which unleash a series of interconnected events in surprising ways.
As he navigates the complexities of his reality, he faces moral and ethical dilemmas, as well as his own ambitions and fears. A contrast is presented between the paths he could have taken and how those decisions impact his life and the lives of those around him. The narrative plays with the idea of fate versus free will, prompting us to question whether, in a changing and sometimes oppressive system of life, our actions truly have the power to shape our future.
With a unique visual and narrative approach, the protagonist becomes a mirror of the Polish reality of the time, where each choice resonates beyond the personal. In an introspective and moving journey, this story reminds us that, in the end, we are the sum of our decisions, and that each unexpected turn can either open new doors for us… or slam them shut.
