Kamila is to approach the well-known author and literature professor Adam Warczewski (Andrzej Seweryn) and report on his views and contacts.

Kamila approaches the professor who invites her to his home and introduces her to classical music and Polish exile literature.

The relationship between Kamila and Warczewskis family gets closer and the reports for the state security more detailed and interesting.

When the Polish government suspends a theater play on account of its veiled anti-Soviet overtones, Warczewski calls a meeting of the PEN Club to protest.

After the suppression of student riots Władysław Gomułka seizes upon Warczewski as an example of Jewish anti-socialist elements in Polish society.
