Brilliant and cunning, Lutek Danielak is an employee of the provincial branch of "Estrada". Being one in turn in the hierarchy of consecrators, he runs parties for children and pensioners. When he learns that a big ball is about to take place on the occasion of the opening of the "Lux" hotel, he decides to fight for its management. This event could be a breakthrough in his career. 

Lutek knows he's good at what he does but realizes the competition is very strong. He decides to eliminate all his rivals, using any method that could bring him closer to success, including writing denounces, substituting his girlfriend for influential sponsors, robbing his ex-wife, and betraying friendships. The pursuit of a dead and unscrupulous goal and the fight, however unfair and immoral, are obvious to Lutek. One of the iconic films of moral anxiety cinema.
