„Doll” is a documentary portray about Ryszard Czubak, a man endowed with a personality strong enough to stay himself in a world marking him as a freak, a pervert, someone abnormal and bizarre. Mr. Czubak is a fifty year old transvestite, highly known in Warsaw bohemian life.

This film is an attempt to show this colorful character through different contexts. It also tries to answer the disturbing question- what is the truth about the portrayed man and what is his belief about himself?
