After the death of his father, Marcin must contend with the funeral arrangements while hosting his buffoonish out-of-town relatives who disparage his small town life as a mechanic in his father's garage. In addition, Marcin must face the news that his lifelong girlfriend has decided to leave Poland to live in the US. If he doesn't act quickly, he may never see her again. Marcin's coming-of-age in the wake of his father's funeral closely mirrors the coming-of-age of an entire nation, struggling to redefine itself and its future in the aftermath of the Cold War.
