Michał is among the soldiers quartered in a village near Lublin. By accident, he goes to the palace and visits the magnificent building, where he meets a widow Maria. Meanwhile, local peasants do not want to wait for the start of land reform. They appoint their own committee and want to deal with the division of property themselves.

It's a hot, dry summer in Klein-Schappleben. Micha, a pretentious video game designer, wants to turn his late parents' dilapidated guesthouse into a luxury hotel with a wellness oasis. The villagers are skeptical, even though Micha loudly promises new jobs and prosperity. But his plans start to falter when the groundwater in the village dries up.

A dramatized retelling of the life of the Romanticism painter Piotr Michałowski.

From Violette the roulette-wheel whore to Victor the child serial killer, via Cyrano de Vergerac, Michaël lays himself bare as he tackles themes such as politics, the star system, homosexuality, and television. He cries, thrashes about, dances, sings, makes the audience scream, gives himself over completely—outrageous yet poetic—playing with limits and flirting with disaster… without a safety net and with great generosity.
