The story written by Urszula Antoniak follows Michael, a 28-year-old Polish-born, Berlin-based lawyer. On Friday morning, Michael switches from top class German to Polish and becomes a Pole, Michałek. He meets Stanisław, his 55-year-old father, whom he sees for the first time. Stanisław enters the world of his son more as a symbol of a father than as a real father. He is the only bond uniting Michael with Poland, the country with which the young man intentionally lost touch.
The Dutch filmmaker Lennert Hillege is lensing. The international cast includes Jakub Gierszał, Andrzej Chyra, Christian Löber and Justyna Wasilewska.

The film was shot in Berlin in July-August 2016.
