Majętny Radost (Robert Więckiewicz) intends to get his nephew Gustaw (Maciej Stuhr) with the beautiful Aniela (Anna Cieślak) - the daughter of Dobrójska (Edyta Olszówka) living next door. The parties quickly agree on the marriage contract. The problem is that Gucio spends the nights at the "Under the Golden Parrot" tavern, seduces women, drinks, dances and never marries. Also, Aniela, who is influenced by her cousin Klara (Marta Żmuda Trzebiatowska), is far from thinking about marriage. Klara, an ardent opponent of men, is constantly mocking the intrusive romantic Albin (Borys Szyc) who is in love with her.
