Plot
Leon (Boguslaw Linda), a former commando, returns home after a job in Yugoslavia. One of his young daughters pulls a gun out of his luggage and targets another daughter.
After his wife has left him, and Leon has lost himself in booze, he is roused for an interview with a local criminal ringleader, Jozef (Marek Perepeczko), who is looking for a bodyguard for his 16-year-old daughter, Sara (Agnieszka Wlodarczyk). During the interview an attempt is made to assassinate Jozef, and Leon's quick action saves his life. Leon is awarded the job.
Sara at first appears unenthusiastic about her new bodyguard, but during an assassination attempt on her, he protects her with his body. Sarah falls in love with Leon. Initially, Leon is wary of Sara's attentions, but sincere and tender feelings for the girl eventually conquer his heart. Leon and Sarah become lovers. Soon Sara becomes pregnant. Another criminal bigwig comes into possession of compromising photos and passes them to Jozef. A confrontation ensues.
