Marta is a romantic and a victim of fate. She shares a room with her sister Kasia and their grandmother, who tells her granddaughters insurgent stories instead of fairy tales. In the room behind the wall, their parents Tadek and Elzbieta live their married life. He is an intellect, constantly humiliated by the system, who silently envies his prosperous brother-in-law. She is the president of the company's "Solidarity" with the need for freedom and a dream to finally break out of Poland. However, the real emotions for the whole family start when the dream orange toddler stands under the block. This will be an unexpected catapult to the big world: the family will go to Lake Balaton with a toddler with luggage on the roof. Ela and Tadek will discover a vocation to trade and travel abroad, and Marta will fall in love again.
