Almost every child wants to have magical powers. What about when that dream comes true? Kaytek (Eryk Biedunkiewicz), a twelve-year-old boy with an exceptionally wayward disposition, grows up with his father (Grzegorz Damięcki) and grandmother (Maja Komorowska). The class prankster one day discovers supernatural abilities. Unusual talent combined with the boy's unruly character mean a lot of trouble not only for the school, but also for the whole city. Magical powers take control of Kaytek's life, who from now on deals with both disliked teachers and the entire school community, gaining sympathy and fame among his peers. The situation begins to get complicated when the forces of good and evil begin to compete for the boy endowed with magical abilities. Which way will the young wizard go?
