A moving, dreamlike journey into a bizarre fantasy world full of past emotions. Rummaging irreverently and uninhibitedly through his own personal and collective memory, the director populates the streets, trams and shops of the industrial city of Lodz with characters, scraps of memory and catchy tunes that take us back to his childhood world of the 1960s and 1970s. Literary characters, comic book heroes, family members and friends wander anachronistically through this gloomy labyrinth, comforting the protagonist and defying darkness and oblivion.
