Janusz, a pawnbroker in his late 40s, is confronted with the sudden death of his estranged wife. To cover up for all his failings, he hires the young prostitute Irena to act as his girlfriend and join him for the funeral. A tale about guilt, abandonment and love.

The daughter of a famous writer believes her mother is responsible for her father's death. Since then the relationship between them is cooled increasingly, to the point that she did not invite her mother when she marries. The husband, far from promoting good relations between them, takes them away even more, which sees the mother and begins to suspect him when he receives a note threatening to kill his daughter.

Above all it is the spring when Iris is deciding that she wants to become a man when she grows up because life as a man is easier.
