Dois cientistas poloneses, Max (Jerzy Stuhr) e Albert (Olgierd Łukaszewicz), se submetem, em 1991, ao primeiro experimento de hibernação humana. Em vez de serem despertados após 3 anos, como planejado, eles acordam no ano de 2044, em um mundo pós-nuclear. Nessa nova realidade, os humanos refugiaram-se em instalações subterrâneas e, como resultado da sujeição a um tipo específico de radiação, todos os homens morreram. As mulheres se reproduzem através da partenogênese, vivendo em uma sociedade feminista totalitária, onde o Women League apparatchiks ensina que as mulheres sofreram na mão dos homens até que esses foram extirpados do mundo. O filme é uma sátira ao devaneio feminista e foi escolhido como melhor filme polonês dos últimos 30 anos em uma pesquisa de 2005 realizada pelas revistas Cinema, Esensja e Stopklatka.
