Marek is a gifted runner who believes the world is his for the taking. His success on the track carries over to his personal life, where he is supremely confident in social situations and with women. One night at a masquerade ball, he meets Yovita and is immediately drawn to her. Marek believes Yovita is the woman he is destined to love but soon loses track of the mysterious woman. Consoled by his friend Agnieszka, Marek becomes frantic when he discovers that Yovita must soon leave the country. He lacks interest in athletics but is pushed by his hard-driving coach (Zbigniew Cybulski), who shows no sympathy for his love-struck track star. Marek's confidence is shaken until the surprise ending.
