The self-referential nature of Rafał Łysak’s documentary enables the viewer to gain a better understanding of the unique relationship between a twenty-something-old grandson and his grandma. The woman is unable to accept the boy’s homosexuality although he is someone very important for her. Teresa is a women of set views who, due to traditional religiousness, perceives Rafał’s sexual orientation in moral categories.
