Synopsis

A young man Jacek Żytkiewicz is an employee of a fictional company WPT (= Warsaw Taxi Company). He drives a blue taxicab no. 1313 in turns with his sub Stanisław Lesiak. In an idiosyncratic accident the blue cab is destroyed and Stanisław lands in a hospital.

Simultainously a young woman Kasia Piórecka is a driver in a small enterprise. After an abuse attempt she resigns from a work she never liked and applies for a taxi driver in WPT. Her application is however rejected due to safety concerns. By that time taxi driver was exclusively male job in Poland and with several attacks on or even murders of taxi drivers it was believed that a woman may be even more prone to be attacked. This doesn't stop Kasia, and again, disguised as a man named Marian Koniuszko, she tries and becomes employed in WPT. She, being Marian, becomes a new sub of Jacek in a new, orange painted taxicab no. 1313.

Living a double life is a complicated endeavour. At certain point Jacek meets Kasia en femme, fells in love and starts dating her. Jacek is unaware that a girl he dates is the same person as his sub. Kasia is still not willing to reveal her double identity fearing of losing her new job. This state leads to many complicated situations. The things get even worse when it happens that the orange 1313 cab is a key instrument in a large cocain-smugling plot and two rival gangs will be trying to hijack the car at any cost.
