Music-driven portrait inspired by the life of a legendary Polish rock musician Jan Borysewicz. The film follows a rebellious guitarist whose early fascination with rock music ignites an obsessive drive to create a band that could rival his idols. Fueled by raw talent and uncompromising determination, he rises from modest beginnings to become the leader of a wildly popular rock group, Lady Pank, whose songs are known far beyond the music scene. Success arrives fast and loudly but it comes at a cost. Personal loss, family trauma, excess, and clashes with authority begin to fracture both his private life and the band itself.
