Corporate accountant Mike Young (Paul Burczyk) has a briefcase full of stolen money. Angelika (Kasia Olarz) seeks money to save her orphanage. The Angel of Death (Jan Englert) has been begging God (Gustaw Holoubek) for a vacation day. With so many souls to be gathered, a substitute is found, but when on vacation Death crosses paths with a Guardian Angel (Teresa Dzielska).
