Synopsis

Karen, a successful Danish fashion photographer, is working so constantly that she has little time for her husband and daughter. While working in Paris, she spots a handsome man on the street, becoming instantly attracted to him. Maciek is a professor at Warsaw School of Economics visiting from Poland, and she pursues him relentlessly, even going so far as to follow him all the way to Warsaw and ensconcing herself in an apartment right across the street from the apartment where he lives with his wife and family. While Maciek initially encourages the romance, he soon tires of Karen and tries to extricate himself from the relationship.
