A young man is admitted to the hospital in a coma. His case is peculiar to the doctors, since the man – absolutely healthy from the medical point of view – is dying. When he regains consciousness a few days later, he shows symptoms of amnesia and autism. Hania, a hospital attendant who looks after him, notices there are striking similarities between the man and her son, who died in a car crash a few years earlier. Intrigued, Hania takes him home and he gradually recovers. He starts working in a local shop run by Monika’s parents. Coincidently, Monika was the girlfriend of Hania’s dead son. At first, everybody takes a liking to the man, as time goes on, he proves to be a threat.
