In 1976, Agnieszka, a young woman in Krakow is making her diploma film, which examines the life of a 1950s bricklayer, Birkut, who was briefly made into a proletarian hero. She looks at how his celebrity was created, and how he was later mercilessly brought down. She gets hold of outtakes and censored footage and interviews the man's friends, ex-wife, and the filmmaker who made him a hero. In researching her portrait of Birkut emerges, Agnieszka learns the truth about his life and a more general and bitter truth about life in 1950s Poland.
