Synopsis

Krysia Drewnowska (Agnieszka Michalska), a florist, and Zuzia Śnieżanka (Olga Borys), a secretary, live in Warsaw. They share a two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment with their roommate, Elżbieta Iłowiecka (Monika Stefaniak). An going-away party for newlywed Elżbieta is held at the apartment. The next morning, Krysia and Zuzia find Jacek Przypadek (Michał Lesień), a culinary student, sleeping in the bathtub. The women offer Jacek the second bedroom because they need someone to cover Elżbieta's share of the rent. He quickly accepts so that he can have an alternative to the local university dormitory. Jacek is attracted to Zuzia, but the three of them agree to live platonically.

However, the overbearing landlord Stanisław Bogacki (Marek Siudym) refuses to allow unmarried men and women to live together in his house. He allows Jacek to move in only after Krysia tells him that Jacek is homosexual. Stanisław's wife, Helena (Ewa Szykulska), quickly figures out that Jacek is straight. Nevertheless, she trusts him with the girls and promises to keep his secret from Stanisław. Helen's bond with the three roommates grows throughout the series until the couple's departure, which leads into the spin-off, Sąsiedzi.
