[ENG] Each of us tells a story about ourselves. Sometimes to prove something, but sometimes to hide. Thousands of lamps and among them one stubborn collector – 50-year-old Janusz. What is he trying to hide from his family and us by telling a story about himself? A self-conscious documentary, with creative elements relating to the cinema of Grand Adventure, illustrated with wonderful orchestral music.
