Krzysztof meets Monika at a party, his girlfriend over the past five years. Krzysztof is a lonely soul, who seems to be in search of love, companionship, and purpose, but at the same time once it’s found, he pushes it away, as if he has grown so accustom to a solitary pursuit, that he feels more at home in its embrace instead of a lover. The film begins with a high distant shot from above during the night with fireworks exploding into the sky, as Krzysztof laments the minor events in life, that once summed up at its end, create hours looking at fireworks, and days of other accumulating moments as well.
