Twenty-four people with twenty-four stories cross each other in twenty-four hours. In an unusual narrative form, Polish director Pawel Borowski follows one character until, through choice or chance, he encounters another at home, in the street, in a bus or bar. In this way the film flows from one situation to the next, with the same people returning several times in stories about jealousy, unfaithfulness, revenge, despair and fate.

Pressured by his superiors to disgrace public intellectual Warczewski, a professor and respected writer whom they believe to be a "camouflaged Zionist," rough security-services colonel Rozek enlists his sexy but naive girlfriend, Kamila, to insinuate herself into the distinguished older man's life and report on his every move. Not particularly interested in serving communism but eager to please her domineering lover, Kamila accepts the mission, reporting under the code name "Little Rose." As quick scenes contrast Kamila's crude pleasures with Rozek and her more refined experiences with Warczewski, it becomes clear that the more time the unschooled young woman spends with the professor, the more she comes to have true feelings for him.
