Agnieszka, Natalia and Honorata with her brother Michał all share a 19-square meter, rented apartment in Gdańsk. Honorata is the deputy manager of the fish section at Leclerc, Agnieszka is a salesperson there. Michał, Honorata’s brother, is the manager of the local Biedronka supermarket. If a relative or a friend is looking for work in Gdańsk and wants to stay with them, they never refuse. They joke that the name of Startowa Street, where they live, obliges them to help. The couple raises Natalia, Honorata's daughter together. Agnieszka, a divorcee, is the mother of a 5-year-old Antek, but the boy is currently living with Agnieszka's parents. The grandparents find it difficult to come to terms with the fact that their daughter lives with a woman.
