Mid-twentieth century in the Polish People’s Republic. Adam lives with his mother who is being harassed by the Security Service officials. During WWII, Adam’s father was a pilot in the Battle of Britain, and then he went missing. Parcels and postcards arrive from him, but Adam – who has never seen him – suspects that they are being sent by someone else. When in school, Adam continuously dreams about his father landing his Spitfire on the dusty football field, sending up clouds of dust, and emerging alive, heroic, and magnificent.
