As Poland prepares for a presidential election, the country is consumed by political campaigning and media spectacle. Among the candidates is Jan Rydel, an outspoken and unconventional man who openly mocks the political establishment and refuses to play by its rules. As the campaign progresses, Rydel makes an unexpected decision that turns the election on its head. Determined to put his principles into practice, he sets out to give away what he has accumulated, only to discover that helping people is far more complicated than he imagined. His attempt to distribute his wealth brings a succession of eccentric characters into his life and forces him to confront the contradictions of a society driven by bureaucracy, ambition and self-interest.
