Aleksander is a man with a successful career. He is on his way to take his eleven year old son Jan to music school, but Jan doesn`t wait for his father where he is supposed to. Instead he is taking a shower, still dirty from playing football. It soon becomes clear that Jan will refuse to go to music school no matter what, while Aleksander gets increasingly impatient.
