A program written for an experiment. Sikor wanted to try playing with the situation, rather than with jokes, as he had done until then. Potemów was known for its short sketches full of jokes, but in order to develop, it is sometimes necessary to try something different. This is how one of the band's favorite programs was created. It was different, among other things, because the same characters appear throughout the program: King Ferdinand, Rudy, Hania, Lutek Romczyk, Hieronim, Pelargonia, and the mean Jacuś. It was 1993.

A bad Polish actor is just trying to make a living when Poland is invaded by the Germans in World War II. His wife has the habit of entertaining young Polish officers while he's on stage, which is also a source of depression to him. When one of her officers comes back on a Secret Mission, the actor takes charge and comes up with a plan for them to escape.

A young academy soldier, Maciek Chelmicki, is ordered to shoot the secretary of the KW PPR. A coincidence causes him to kill someone else. Meeting face to face with his victim, he gets a shock. He faces the necessity of repeating the assassination. He meets Krystyna, a girl working as a barmaid in the restaurant of the "Monopol" hotel. His affection for her makes him even more aware of the senselessness of killing at the end of the war. Loyalty to the oath he took, and thus the obligation to obey the order, tips the scales.
