A brave film about what is being talked about so much - the folders and their surprising impact on our daily lives. What were they all for? What did who do, what did they eat, what did they read, who did they meet with. Under the directive "you don't know what you might find useful," everything was of interest to the officers of the former political police. Thousands of files filled the vast basements of their headquarters. Twenty years have passed, the files have yellowed, their heroes have taken important positions in the new Poland. A new generation is entering adult life. Preoccupied with their affairs, they are making their first decisions in life. And the files are just waiting for someone to make use of them.
