Andrzej Różycki's film is not only a portrait of Zofia Rydet, a female artist, and her working methods, but also a capture of maturity and great passion. Rydet lets the viewer into her world, allowing them to observe her and peek in without restrictions.

The film is a portrait of Jerzy Orłowski, an armless graphic artist. Impressionistic scenes present the protagonist in various situations: when he has to deal with everyday chores, when he jumps into water, skis and draws.
