Ania and her best friend Kasia have fallen out. When Kasia destroys her graduation paintings out of frustration, Ania feels guilty and wants to apologise but realises there is more to her friend’s behaviour than meets the eye.
A lonely 17 –year-old Ania (the Newbie) is seeking acceptance in a group of peers playing risky urban games. She pays for her strivings with a loss of faith in values. With nothing to lose, Ania invents a daredevil game, supposed to provoke the group and especially its leader-Czarny, to think. The surprising end of the film gives a new chance to return to normality for its characters. The film is based on the short story 'Moc słowa' [The Power of Word] by Anna Czajka and corresponds to the second Commandment: 'You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain'.
Marta (Krystyna Janda), una mujer de mediana edad casada con el médico local, busca la felicidad en los brazos de un hombre mucho más joven, Bogus (Pawel Szajda). Marta y Bogus disfrutan de una relación tan inocente y fresca como el olor de los juncos del río en el que nadan en su primera cita. Pero cuando todo parece ir bien, Bogus se ahoga intentando coger un junco para Marta.
