Jerzy, a middle aged writer, lives with his wife and six-year-old son in the countryside.
He has not written anything in a while and it appears that he is going through some kind of creative crisis. This situation negatively affects his finances as well as his relationship with his wife. In a course of the film it turns out his son must undergo a simple surgery. Jerzy and his son travel to the city. The little boy is initially very happy by the trip but he does not know he will have to stay in hospital. He feels cheated and disappointed when his father leaves him there. The surgery is successful and a phone conversation between Jerzy and his wife seems to solve marital problems. Everything seems to be fine. Jerzy feels content. Then he gets a call from the chief surgeon urging him to return to the hospital...
