Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Małgosia, a young girl from the countryside, arrives in Warsaw. She wants to get into college, find a job, and meet her "prince charming." Before her entrance exams to the Academy of Fine Arts, she meets young Piotr. Małgosia falls in love with him, and he, too, falls in love with her. They live together for part of their studies and afterward. They both work at a catering company, but that's not the pinnacle of Małgosia's dreams. She applies for a job at an advertising agency.
