Feelgood Polish family drama. Stefek (Damian Ul) is a six-year-old boy who is being raised by his single mother in a small mining town near Wroclaw. Closest to his older sister Elka (Ewelina Walendziak), Stefek spends most of his time following her around town, together believing that 'tricks' and 'games' can influence courses of events which shape their lives. However, as Stefek embarks on a game of chance in which he hopes to get closer to his wayward father, he suddenly realises that bargaining with destiny can be dangerous.
Stefek (Damian Ul) is the six year-old sibling of Elka (Ewelina Walendziak), and the son of a pretty small town shopkeeper (Iwona Fornalczyk). His father abandoned the family when Stefek was just a few years old, so these days the wandering youngster spends most of his time following eighteen year-old Elka and her mechanic boyfriend Jerzy (Rafal Guzniczak) around town. While Elka has been studying Italian in hopes of landing a job at a local Italian firm, Jerzy does his best to remain faithful despite his attraction to shapely village strumpet Violka (Joanna Liszowska). One day, after pondering the manner in which his older sister attempts to shape her own fate though various quasi-magical means, Elka attempts to try his own hand at bargaining with destiny by secretly guiding a commuter who reminds him of his long lost father into the shop of his lonely mother.
