Polish paparazzi wait for hours to take a photo illustrating this sensational news; they wait near shops, in streets or by the celebrities’ homes. The film documents the life of a Polish paparazzo who, just like his Western colleagues, follows the rich and the famous, hunting for sensation. But unlike those in Los Angeles, Polish celebrities lead boring lives.
