Filip lives in a poor neighbourhood. He dreams of writer's glory and a luxurious lifestyle in a more prosperous part of town. One day there is a knock on Filip's door. His neighbour Tereza, an elderly prostitute that Filip tries to avoid by all means, asks him to write a letter to her fiancé Boles. Filip agrees.
