The 22-year-old young man promises to be a great poet, but he also has a warm heart. He spends his summer time at a friend's mansion. The beautiful Maryla appears there. Young Adam's heart beats harder and harder, but his closest friend Thomas Zan is there, who also looks at Maryla. There is a confrontation between the two men, from which Adam emerges victorious. Tomasz leaves, leaving the field to his friend to find his life, happiness in Maryla....
