It's not so easy to be yourself: Sometimes you have to consistently stand up for yourself and your own convictions, sometimes you have to put your ego on the back burner or simply let go completely. This program shows that many very different paths can lead to self-realization and self-efficacy.

Wiktor and his family's apartment used to belong to the Polish national hero Lech Wałęsa. When Wiktor's wife starts offering guided tours of the apartment, things start to go awry.
