The film tells the story of “sinful love” between a brother and a sister. For 18-year-old Tadek, his older sister Anka is the only love. Headless of the moral and social consequences, he wants to prove worthy of this forbidden love. Anka, also emotionally broken, in an unhappy relationship with the boss of the local Neo-Nazis, finds it difficult to reject her brother’s adoration. She needs love and warmth as bad as he does.
