Determined that a better life awaits her in Norway, single mother Marta auditions for a Norwegian pop band and plots to fund her flight by selling tennis practice kits in the middle of town.

Directed by Michal Rosa, this Polish film centers around the life of Magda, a successful business woman whose parents were killed in a freakish car accident in the late 1970's. Her days filled with tough executive decisions, Magda lets her anxieties loose through drug-induced dance marathons at the local techno club, and cools off in the backroom. It's during one of these breaks when she notices Simon (Bartosz Opania), a tense looking man who has been scoping her out for sometime. Though initially attracted to him, Magda quickly finds out he was one of the small boys who had inadvertently caused the car accident that killed her parents, and has spent his life obsessed with tracing hers.
