Przeżyć dobrze jedno życie...

The protagonist of the film is Wanda Bart-Gebethner (1917-1980), an actress who quit her profession and took a job at Śródmiejska Spółdzielnia Mieszkaniowa (Central Housing Cooperative). She currently runs the "Za Żelazną Bramą" café and feels more needed in the Cooperative than in the cinema and theater.
