Traveling around the country, the director recorded conversations with the drivers who share their thoughts, concerns about their own situation, their environment and of human nature. Among them is a woman who all of her life lived in the same village, never really going anywhere; a singer of “disco polo”, who spent a lot of time on the road; a baker, who has been baking bread for over 50 years and dreams about moving to Mazuria.

The filmmakers visited with the camera places important to the poet: his hometown of Mikolow, where his "poem-making" began, and Wroclaw, where he spent the last six most creative, but also most turbulent years of his life. For the first time, unknown manuscripts, typescripts, notes and drawings by Rafal Wojaczek collected at the Ossolineum in Wroclaw were published in this film.
