The movie opens in the midst of the Prussian invasion of Poland in the 1790s. A Stranger clad in black (Wojciech Pszoniak) enters a prison where Jakub (Leszek Teleszynski) is being held on charges that he tried to assassinate the king as part of a conspiracy. The Stranger frees Jakub in the midst of a riot, tells him to return home, and sends a white-clad nun named Zakonnica (Monika Niemczyk) to accompany Jakub. Zakonnica appears to be a representation of goodness/god and the Stranger a representation of evil/the Devil. Through most of the movie, Zakonnica remains in a state of stunned horror at the things she and Jakub witness.
