After his father (Władysław Kowalski) is apprehended by Stalinist authorities, young Tomek (Tomasz Hudziec) is sent to a re-education camp. Tomek acquiesces to their brainwashing regimen, partially to court the favor of a pretty female counselor (Teresa Marczewska). But what started as lip service to the ideals of the state slowly turns into something very real. In time, Tomek has been transformed into a hot-blooded Stanlinist -- which poses some problems when his father returns home.
