Young and headstrong, sisters Karolina and Natalia are realistic about their home life. Their domineering father may not take the best care of them, but they know any life with their mysteriously absent mother would surely be worse. In this stirring award-winning film, director Jakub Stozek follows the girls as they finally seek out their mother and come to terms with surprising discoveries.
