History is not a closed chapter. Next generations have to come to terms with its consequences. Taking care of his grandfather suffering from Alzheimer’s Karol discovers a family secret related to the dramatic events of December 1970.

Stanisław Horodecki, a director and scriptwriter, invited outstanding Polish actors: Jadwiga Jankowska-Cieślak, Witold Dębicki and Jan Peszek to take part in his debut. Jędrzej Wielecki plays the part of Karol. The film utilises archival materials and has a very interesting score.
