The feature film debut of director Marek Koterski. Thirty-year-old Adaś Miauczyński visits his parents, which ends with his nervous breakdown.

The film does not have a linear plot or characters in the traditional sense. It consists of a sequence of episodes from everyday Polish life. Here the militia hunts down innocent passers-by, but election posters of the "Lech team" are already hanging on the walls. Barely have the limousines with wreaths left from under Dzerzhinsky's monument, and already the statue of the "great revolutionary" is hanging on a crane as if on a noose. There are still queues for everything and everyone dreams of getting "equally," and already Janusz Korwin-Mikke is proclaiming the end of socialist "unionism." The guides in this crazy and ironic world are two writers, commenting on the surrounding reality. The film is as much a satire on the era of "communism" as it is of "Solidarity." In place of the old stupidity comes a new one.

The life of a grumpy 40-year-old man living with his wife in a high-rise block.

Night, fog, rain. A narrow Masurian road. Speeding trucks. A lonely man behind the wheel of an old car is rushing home to his daughter's concert. He overtakes the trucks, rushing towards his destiny. That destiny is a drug-addicted girl dancing on the road and waving a burning jacket like a torch. Miraculously, the trucks avoid her. The man is the commander of the local police station, the girl is a drug addict from a nearby rehab center. She will die under the wheels, and he will do everything he can to explain what she was doing on the road at night. He will make heroic attempts not to become like those around him: corrupt authorities and police, drug dealers selling their wares even under the mayor's window. His name is Leon Kamelski, but everyone calls him Chameleon.

A picture of the broken world at the end of the century. A couple of contemporary young Polish intellectuals, artistic souls. They are sensitive beyond mediocrity, hence the daily hustle and bustle is not an excuse for them to live: they want to give it a meaning and shape of their own choosing.
