A small group of cosmic explorers, including a woman, leaves Earth to find freedom and start a new civilization. They do not realize that within themselves they carry the end of their own dream. They eventually die one by one, while their children revert to a primitive native culture, creating new myths and a new god. Some time later, a newcomer bureaucrat, running from a broken heart, is considered a suitable candidate for a Messiah, and for some time he lives as one.

In 1978, after 3 yearts of filming and three-quarters of the film completed, the Polish ministry of culture halted production. When in 1986 Zulawski completed the film. He used voice-over narration covering the missing scenes.
