The relationship of Strong with Magda is not going well. Their love is a constant struggle. Full of anger Strong will run through several days of his life with a bullet-like speeed, meeting extraordinary women: the sensitive, full of far-out dreams virgin Andżela; old friend Nata, addicted to sniffing instant soup powder; the seemingly shy Ola - a ruthless seductress who is taken by Strong's simplemindedness; the teenage Dorota, in whose head the entire film takes place.

It is a film adaptation of a book by Dorota Masłowska, "Polish-Russian War Under the White-Red Flag" - the first Polish "jock novel". Adventures of the jock Strong with five different girls form the basic plot. However, it is also a surrealist allegory of Polish national identity against the backdrop of a small, seaside town.
