A story about an actor whose glory days are behind him. Konstanty Kurczek works as a prompter in a theater, and his only passion is Napoleon. Over time, his life seems to be getting better and better - he marries Ludwika, an extra, and they have a child, but one day he catches his wife in flagrante with Grywicz, and his whole world falls apart. The final straw is the fact that his wife's lover is to play Napoleon, and when asked to leave Jadwiga alone, he responds with laughter. Kurczek takes drastic measures.

After nearly 20 years of service, he is being forced to retire for 'health reasons', and perhaps may not even be given a pension. The boys regard him as a Hitler, with some justification. His unfaithful wife Laura tries to hurt him in any way she can. Andrew must come to terms with his failed life and at least regain his own self-esteem.

A jazz musician seeks refuge from a lynch mob on a remote island, where he meets a hostile game warden and the young object of his attentions.
