Karol Karol, a Polish hairdresser, is unceremoniously dumped by his wife, Danuta, and left penniless and without legal recourse in Paris. Determined to get revenge and reclaim his life, Karol devises an elaborate and often absurd plan to return to Poland and make his fortune, all while navigating complicated relationships and his own desires.
