His obsession, harassment and aggression ruin their lives. Couple two: Kasia has found the man she wants to spend her life with.

"Luxus" was one of the most eccentric art groups of the decline of communist Poland. Its contestation character grew out of rebellion against the all-encompassing gray. The group's uniqueness lay in the fact that, as they themselves said, "We are independent because we don't care." Even today its members give expression to their distinctiveness, growing out of the spirit of punk rock. In Agnieszka Mazanek's film, the former students of the Wroclaw PWSSP recall the artistic and social excesses of years ago, but also show the activities of "Luxus" against the backdrop of social and economic changes. Even today their critical and still equally witty view of the world touches on the paradoxes of modern times.
