A chemical factory is going up in Olechów, and the decision about where was made far from the town that has to live beside it. Stefan Bednarz (Franciszek Pieczka), an honest party man, is handed the job of building it in his own hometown. Kieślowski shoots it on location, and what stays with you is Bednarz in his coat among the townspeople, a man who has been asked to stand between them and the order from above.
