The action takes place at one of Egypt's resorts. Ewa (Karolina Gorczyca) has invited her parents, Kasia and Janek (Hanna Śleszyńska and Piotr Cyrwus), on an exclusive vacation to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary. However, the trip looks different than planned: mom complains, dad wears jeans despite the heat, Ewa's husband Adaś (Marcin Korcz) takes advantage of free drinks, and Ewa herself tries to make it through the stay. Since the vacation is all-inclusive, everything must be drunk, eaten, danced and swum, because it's already paid for. A checklist is even kept tracking what has been eaten, drunk, swum, danced and run.
Krzysztof Czeczot talks about working on the comedy: "Over the last year I traveled to various resorts to see what happens on all-inclusive vacations. The stories I witnessed I greatly exaggerated to make this evening wonderful entertainment for our audience. I'm convinced everyone will have a fantastic time watching a comedy they've never seen in theater before!"
