Marcin (Łukasz Simlat) and Ola (Agnieszka Dulęba-Kasza) are a couple, who have been married for many years. Both of them work at the same theatre. While appearing impeccably professional on stage, they find it increasingly difficult to find a common language in their own life. Their never-ending quarrels and mutual grudges are a common sight for their children and colleagues at work alike. When Ola pushes for a divorce, though, Marcin does not find it in himself to accept this decision. The situation aggravates even further, when Marcin finds out about certain things that happened between Ola and their colleagues from the theatre. The film ‘Seasons’ was shot at the Wilam Horzyca Theatre in Toruń. It offers a unique insight into human relations happening in a theatre universe, where absurdity, humour, and boiling emotions are on a daily menu. Each successive phase of the story takes place simultaneously with the three stage plays in which our protagonists are cast: ‘Peter Pan’, ‘A Doll’s House’, and ‘A Midsummer Night's Dream’. How will all of them end?
