mother while she drives on the highway. Later, Kuba confesses his relationship to his mother, but Ewa rejects him. Ewa then tells Sylwia and later that night, Sylwia reveals she is pregnant to Kuba—he attempts to absolve himself of responsibility for the child, but his mother demands that he get a job to support Sylwia and never see Michał again. Kuba is then shown—emotionally—breaking up with Michał over the phone while an impassive Sylwia stands in the hallway behind him. In the next scene, Michał has a heart-to-heart with his father in which the meaning of the title of the film is explained. After, he goes to the parking garage and is ambushed by a group of men led by the guy who Kuba beat up earlier. Michał is brutally punched and kicked, dying after his head is repeatedly smashed into the cement floor of the garage. The final scene is of Kuba and Sylwia in the bathtub. After giving her a short shoulder massage, she turns to face him and they stare impassively at each other for a few moments before Kuba gets out of the tub and walks away.
