In a prologue: in the far future, two researchers are resting in a derelict palace, which is also occupied by a tribe of indigenous people. A horse rider brings the scientists a technological item which he says has fallen from the sky in flames. The scientists realise it is an old, obsolete, “Small Transmission Module”, and in their underground laboratory they find it contains the video diary of an astronaut whose spacecraft crashed at least 50 or 60 years ago.
In a lengthy flashback: a group of dissident astronauts crash land on an unnamed Earth-like planet after escaping from a degraded and vaguely dystopian Earth. One succumbs to his injuries shortly after. As a result of the accident, only three astronauts remain, a woman named Marta and two men, Piotr and Jerzy. Communication with Earth is lost and the survivors decide to settle on the seashore and there they give rise to a new human race.

After the birth of their first son, Marta notices that the child is growing much faster than on Earth. Later, an unseen enemy kills Piotr and Marta dies in childbirth. Decades later, Jerzy is in his old age but has not aged as quickly as the new humans. The new humanity is now a tribe of several dozen people, with whom he can no longer communicate: they are partially feral and view “The Old Man” (Jerzy) as a demigod. Before he dies, he sends a video diary to Earth containing recordings from handheld video cameras.
Many years later, a planetary scientist named Marek travels to the planet. When he arrives, the priests in power believe him to be the returning Old Man and declare Marek to be the messiah who, according to prophecy, must free humans from the power of telepathic bird-like humanoids called “Sherns”, the planet’s native inhabitants. Marek accepts this role and leads a military campaign against the Sherns. Back on Earth, we learn that the reason Marek was sent to this planet was because his actress girlfriend was sleeping with a fellow officer, Jacek, and they wanted to get rid of him to continue their affair. At first, the humans succeed and capture the Shern leader Avius, but the subsequent landing in the Shern city ends in disaster. Meanwhile, the priests start to believe that Marek was an outcast from the Earth, rather than a messiah who came to fulfill the religious prophecy. Marek is stoned and then crucified.
