A colourful trail of rainbow flags winds its way through the streets of Warsaw during Polish Pride. Along the way, 22-year-old Antek and his friends are stirring up trouble: with prayers and slogans, they warn of the ‘pink menace’. Antek is in his element on the Catholic right and holds deeply right-wing nationalist views: homosexuality is a disease, there can be no sex before marriage, and Poland is for Poles. Enjoying his growing power in the Brotherhood, Antek leads a small group of like-minded young men at survival camps, on church visits and at anti-pride demonstrations. But when Antek falls in love, he begins to doubt the ban on premarital sex and then the existence of God.
