The sisters struggle with their own bodies. One, driven by ambition, seeks the limits of his possibilities, for the other, the body is a prison. One believes that ballet will save her from her memories. The other watches the world from the balcony with such attention that she sees and hears more. Their father runs away to the only place where he feels like he is truly alive. Each of them tames the past and tames the present. The film is an adaptation of the novel by Jakub Malecki.

The screening will be followed by Q&A session with actress Kinga Preis.

A solidly told story […] that will genuinely engage the viewer: at the right moment it will move him, at another moment it will make him smile, and maybe at the end he will leave the cinema hall with some original reflection.

Damian Jankowski, Filmweb

Kinga Dębska will wrap you in her warm arms again. It will be perfect for autumn and winter.

Karol Barzowski, Onet Kultura

Kinga Dębska knows how to perfectly combine comedy with a social story about something really important.

Adam Siennica, Na Ekranie

The whole message is very light, very touching, but also full of humor (especially when the neighbor Józefina, played by Kinga Preis, appears on the screen).
