Director:

Tymek studies piano at the Warsaw Academy of Music. During the hot summer, he returns to his family in a provincial town where time has seemingly stood still. Tymek's brother Jacek is a pianist too, but he did not enter the Academy of Music and spends his time with his friends at the kebab-shop some Arab immigrants have recently opened in town. At first the locals and the Arabs get along well, but then something happens...
