In mid-20th-century socialist Poland, Adam, who is just a few years old, lives with his mother. He dreams of the return of his father, a pilot, whom he never met, because he fought during World War II in Great Britain and disappeared without a trace. Security Service officers visit Adam’s mother at home. They are also interested in Adam himself, who even at his elementary school is forced to resist ideological indoctrination. When Adam becomes a teenager, he is magically transferred at the cinema to Brigitte Bardot’s boudoir and from there to the mysterious Hotel, where he meets other icons of mass culture of his time, like Elizabeth Taylor, Raquel Welch and the Beatles. This part of the film especially, which is kept in the convention of a dream, refers to the Homeric motif of Telemachus wandering in search of his father. It is also rich in references to classic cinema masterpieces.
