Leaving the big city behind, a young vet Sylwia rebels against the world where rules of the game are defined by cynical careerists. She feels uncomfortable with subtle schemes whose winners climb the social ladder. She heads for the countryside where she finds a world mirroring the reality she has escaped. Yet, this time she is determined not to give up. Her persistence and commitment change the village which has become her new home. She fights the local clique featuring customs officers, the head of local administration and the local finance tycoon. Her energy crumbles the old order in the village. Sylwia is a person to whom the audience will easily relate. Human to the bone, she makes mistakes but always has the courage to go on. We may sympathise with her naivety or envy her the ability to see things as they are. The direction she follows will eventually lead her to a bit of love.
