The film presents the pre-Solidarity reality in Poland, as seen from the perspective of Tadeusz Gapiński, a famous painter from Toruń. It is the first historic screening of the film about that Toruń painter, made in 1980 and reconstructed from archive materials. The film was shot in Toruń and Bydgoszcz, when the author was still studying at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń.
