Sabina, a thirty-year-old publishing house employee, is a woman of modest appearance. Her everyday life is routine. Her loneliness worries her energetic mother and grandmother. One day, a mysterious man saves the woman from some thugs. Enchanted, she starts an affair with the very handsome agent of the Security Office. Since she hides a gold dollar coin, she must be on guard, even against her suspicious fiancé. The three women turn out to be extremely determined in order to save their property, life and some trust in men. This black comedy about the Stalinist period, shot in elegant black and white, turned out to be a revelation of contemporary Polish cinema. It has changed the attitude of directors and viewers to the times of errors and distortions as well as the aesthetics of crude socialism. The filmmakers proved their proficiency in comedy similar to the Polish Film Chronicle and the convention of the so-called sophisticated comedy, based on an interpretation of male-female relationships, even if a murder is concerned. The cinematic debut of Borys Lankosz, a director of feature and documentary films, a Polish candidate for an Oscar. The film was showered with awards at international and national festivals, including the Golden Lions at the 34th Polish Film Festival in Gdynia, the FIPRESCI Award at the Warsaw Film Festival (2009), the Bronze Frog for Marcin Koszałka at Camerimage (2009), the Silver Jerzy at the International Film Festival in Moscow (2010), the Main Award at the Review of Polish Films in Moscow, the Grand Jury Prize in Seattle (2010) and many more.
