Overprotective mom? Check. Silent dad? Check. Creative crisis and a sense of unfulfillment? Check. Arek Parasite really has it uphill. To face his problems, he sets off for the Tatras for the first time in his life. There, he discovers a clue to the largest painting in Polish history (115×16 m!) — the monumental Panorama of the Tatras, lost over 130 years ago. Determined to find it, he cycles through Podhale villages and mountain ridges. But with his mother watching his every move, will he finally see the bigger picture?
