A seven-year-old Marcin , yearing for love and warmth, escapes into a land of fictitious characters of Hans Christian Andersen’s tales thanks to retired writer, Kazimierz. There, hidden in fantasy from the reality which he is unable to deal with for different reasons, he feels safe. His mother Anna in her twenties, raises him alone, barely making ends meet. She has two full-time jobs to afford renting a room from Zofia and to earn a living. Struggling with the mundane, under pressure from her environment, she fails to notice the most important things in file. When she meets Kamil, a hope of a better future appears. Only, will Anna, who tries to please the modern temptation-filled world, choose the right path?
A blend of drama and modern fable where good fights evil.
