An 11-year-old boy spends his last month of summer in a village in north-eastern Poland. He is fascinated by adventure books about the Wild West and craves adventures and experiences. He explores the surroundings, equipped with a cassette recorder and a bow. His innocent adventure suddenly stops being a childish game – what the boy will live through one summer night will long stay in his memory.
