A painful clash of a child's expectations with the reality, written and directed by "small-time drama" specialist Janusz Nasfeter.
12-year-old Paweł Grzela is raised by his mother. His father went abroad many years ago. Paweł idealises him, especially after finding out that he once was a famous wrestler. One day, his father returns from France. The boy is greatly disappointed to see that he is an old man with a small dog. Having spent many years in the West, the man finds it difficult to adapt himself to the socialist reality. He decides to start a private dog training school. Paweł's job is to wear an advert of the school on his back, which he finds extremely humiliating. His father's business venture fails to attract interest and the school is shut down. People see the old Grzela as an eccentric and a weirdo. He becomes passive and stops reacting to nasty comments, which degrades him even more in his son's eyes. Eventually, however, the father regains Paweł's respect by acting in a resolute and decided manner.
