action
The film is set in the People's Republic of Poland from 1967 to 1968. The attractive Kamila Sakowicz and Roman Rożek are lovers. However, Kamila does not initially know that Roman is an officer in the Polish State Security . After a while he invites her to his official apartment. After a couple of nights of love, Roman asks Kamila for a favor. Kamila is supposed to approach the well-known writer and literature professor Adam Warczewski and write reports about his views and contacts. Kamila signs a declaration of her cooperation with the State Security and decides on the pseudonym Różyczka (rose). Roman claims that Warczewski is a Zionist, counterrevolutionary oppositionist who hides his Jewish name Wajner behind the Polish name Warczewski.
Kamila approaches the professor, who invites her to his home and introduces her to Polish classics and exile literature . The professor is a widower and the single father of a young daughter. The relationship between Kamila and Warczewski's family becomes closer and their reports for the State Security become more detailed and interesting. Finally, Kamila and the professor become lovers. Roman continues to receive interesting reports, but his jealousy is as great as his professional ambitions. When the Polish government under Władysław Gomułka dismissed Kazimierz Dejmek's theater production Dziady by Adam Mickiewicz due to anti-Russian propaganda, Warczewski called for a protest at a meeting of the PEN club . Kamila takes the minutes of the meeting and forwards the minutes to the State Security together with her termination of cooperation. She has chosen Adam Warczewski and wants to marry the professor.
Desperate in his jealousy, Roman informs Adam Warczewski about Kamila's cooperation with the state security during a militia operation against the protesting Warsaw students . After the unrest was put down, Warczewski was highlighted by Gomułka as an example of Jewish anti-socialist elements in Polish society. The anti - Semitic agitation will ensure that 15,000 Jewish citizens will have to leave the People's Republic of Poland without the right to return in the course of the next year. At the same time, Roman Rożek, who was originally called Rożen, was unmasked as Jewish and released from the state security. He too has to leave the country. But first he witnesses how Kamila and the professor get married. In a final act of jealousy, he murders the professor.
