A young journalist Hanka visits a retired military counterintelligence colonel Stefan Kolodziej. She wants to get information on the officer who has had a contradictory life. But Stefan has other plans: he wants to tell his story that is oddly bound with journalist's life.
What is the mysterious event in the past connecting the fates of the young journalist and the old intelligence officer? Will the retired colonel find his Nuremberg?
In his interview to the journal Dialog, the author says: "The story of Nuremberg - as this is the title of the play, not Gent, Antwerp, Yokohama or Calcutta - hardly touches the topic of special services. I was interested in the psychological process, the relationship between persons, as well as their relationship with the history of the People's Republic of Poland. The latter is especially interesting, even exotic, because even if many are dealing with this issue, it is still unknown for us. I was not so interested in special services, but in the mechanism of manipulation which, to top it all, is used without any reason. But in order to manipulate someone, you don't have to be an intelligence officer. We can see every day that our public life is some kind of a ghostly theatre of illusions, a complete fiction. I then decided to write a play of a monster who is playing with a life of another person. There are such people among us and they have not left with our "beloved" People's Republic." It is an exciting Polish story touching not only the Polish. This story is about us, too.
