The protagonist of the film has 78 thousand kilometers in his legs. He trains ultramarathon - a unique and out-of-the-way sport in Poland. During two days of constant running he can make 378 km. What would have happened though, if eighteen years earlier, in the face of a family tragedy, he hadn’t made certain decision?
