Krystyna Janda plays an energetic, spirited, and remarkably perceptive housekeeper - discreet (as she claims) and resourceful, thanks to whom the home of Olga (Katarzyna Gniewkowska) and Norbert (Krzysztof Dracz) always looks impeccable and their life runs smoothly. Everything changes abruptly when the couple decides to travel separately for the weekend - Norbert on business, Olga to visit her in-laws. Both trips are covers for affairs: Norbert wants to spend the weekend at his own home with Maja, nicknamed Bee (Barbara Wypych / Małgorzata Kocik), while Olga has the same idea and invites Marek (Mirosław Kropielnicki) to hers.

Fortunately, the housekeeper is not only discreet but also resourceful - and never loses her cool or her ironic sense of humor. The play was translated by Bartosz Wierzbięta, who wrote dialogue for Shrek and Madagascar, among others.
