Kasia, a single woman in her thirties, works at the cafeteria on the cruse ship. Piotr, who imports cars from Germany, is very handsome and likes to flirt with women. One of them is Kasia. It turns out that they have met before and even spent one night together. Piotr, however, has totally forgotten about it. They try to start again, but Kasia is searching for a true and lasting relationship, while Piotr is afraid of it. Their relationship shows the conflict between the need of closeness and the lack of ability to communicate, between the desire of love and the fear of responsibility.
