The character of the film – the retired miner from the Silesia – has 78 thousand kilometres in his legs. Right now, he starts encircling the earth for the second time. He trains unique and out-of-the-way sport discipline in Poland – ultramarathon. He is able to run 378 km within two days continually – distance between Bielsko Biała and Warsaw. His achievements are impressive: 3. Place in the world championship in 48-hour run and 2. Place in the European championship in 24-hour run. However, he is still asking himself a question: what would it be if he has not taken some decision in the face of family tragedy 18 years ago …
