DESCRIPTION

The film is a prequel to the story about the family we met in the movie hit “These Daughters of Mine” by Dębska. The plot takes place in the mid-1980s of the 20th century, at the time of the People’s Republic of Poland. We look at heroes who don’t have much and enjoy small things – from the perspective of three generations in one house. The director’s (and the writer of the script) gaze is tender and full of empathy for the characters, who live a fulfilling life despite the absurdities and “permanent-lack-of-everything” reality that surrounds them.
