A young Polish filmmaker sets out to find out what happened to Mateusz Birkut, a bricklayer who became a propaganda hero in the 1950s but later fell out of favor and disappeared.

On the eve of the Day of the Dead, among mysterious old rituals of the Vilnius region, ghosts of the past and present start to appear.

An ironic look at a climber who decides to do anything to get a job he thinks will launch him into a better career.

The employees of a tailor's workshop portrayed by him make their working hours more pleasant by chatting, during which the work itself sometimes comes to the background. Their conversations regularly cover the subject of the various issues that tailors and seamstresses have to deal with in their everyday lives. But when customers make complaints and comments about tight jackets and crooked jackets, they can only count on aggression or saying it can’t be helped. All for all is the title of a poem by Julian Tuwim, starting with a stanza: "A bricklayer builds houses, / The tailor sews clothes, / but where would he sew if he didn't have a flat". Kindergarten children learn from the poem that every job serves some purpose and we need each other. Paweł Kędzierski in his documentary ironically shows that the devil is in the details.
