The main character, Rafal, is professionally engaged in improving the mood of others. It helps people struggling with burnout, emotional crises and the daily stress of living in a big city. His job is to make you smile and “uncharm” difficult moments. Every day he is successful - he is appreciated, invited and adored by the audience.

However, the situation changes sharply when, during the general rehearsal of a new program, he loses control of the performance and ends up under the care of a therapist. There he gets a diagnosis that turns his world upside down — depression. The hero has only a day to face himself, regain his balance and prepare for the launch, which may decide his further path.

Two strong personalities meet on the stage — Rafał Rutkowski and Adam Woronowicz — creating a dynamic, improvisational performance in which there is no lack of emotion, tension and humor. It is a theatrical duel that balances between comedy and drama, showing the daily struggles with one's own weaknesses.
