Królowa tiramisu

Piotr, a delicate, sensitive boy, leaves the dull provinces after university for Warsaw, tries doctoral studies and works for an ambitious publisher. He becomes involved with Julia, a confident businesswoman more than ten years older, head of a commercial radio station and the wife of a corporate chairman who will not let her go; she feeds her lover fantasies of a life together. Above all, Piotr returns in memory to a childhood of torment and humiliation, to his mother as the first object of love, and tries to disarm its complexes with irony.
