  One day Dawid arrives to the village for his father’s funeral. He is a musician, older than Bartek and completely opposed to him. Their encounter turns into a romance and Bartek begins to dream of leaving home, even for a few days.
  
  At the same time Bartek’s sister returns from abroad. She is pregnant, and she needs help from her family.
  
  Bartek starts getting threats, and he gets involved in a fight. Spontaneously he goes with Dawid to a gay club in a nearby city. Bartek feels that he can be himself there. When they return home, they notice a homophobic inscription on a barn wall and Dawid decides to leave immediately.
