A story of a man with a very dense eyes who sees all the surrounding reality only after seven years. The consequence of the eye defect translates into the mental immaturity of the man, lack of understanding of the present and belated reflections on long-gone facts. The man is never mature enough for his age and constantly lingers on the past.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film resonates with Polish cinema's fascination with historical memory and belated reckoning — think of how The Pianist or Ida deal with delayed recognition of trauma.
The 7-year delay cleverly mirrors the biblical concept of shmita (sabbatical year cycles), suggesting cyclical destruction and renewal of perception.
