Warsaw 1878. Ignacy Rzecki is an old bachelor who has dedicated his life to the store of Stanislaw Wolkulski, the owner who is also his best friend. Ignacy lives in a small bedroom apartment dominated by an old iron bed, a worn writing desk where he penned his diary, and a worn-out sofa. With his old poodle Ira, he lives a simple life and plays guitar. Ignacy has a lifelong obsession with the Bonaparte dynasty and he has inherited an impressive amount of Napoleon memorabilia from his late Uncle. A resolute idealist, Ignacy is waiting for a new Bonaparte to rise and liberate Poland.
