Two friends, 14-year-old Marek and 12-year-old Hedus, set off on a joyride behind the wheel of a stolen old car. It is mid-winter and as they drive across the country they save a dog from drowning, thus acquiring a new companion, and meet a pretty hitchhiker who sets their imaginations aflame. Their peregrinations come to a halt when Marek is arrested by the police. But they have not counted on his pal, who has not had his last word.
