Kinga Dębska's picture exemplifies cinema which brings solace even though it doesn't sweeten things, which confronts difficult subjects whilst at the same time avoiding grand statements and pompous gestures. One cannot dislike this movie it is impossible to resist, for in this story about two sisters facing their parents' illness and dying, Kinga Dębska found a golden balance between comedy and drama, between bitterness and hope. Marta is an actor in a popular telenovela. Divorced, she is a single mother of an almost adult daughter; she can't handle men, but on the other hand, she is down-to-earth. Her sister, Kasia is completely different she works as a teacher and drowns her everyday stress in alcohol. She has a permanently unemployed husband, an adolescent son, and financial problems, which she solves with the help of her father. The former is slightly coarse, but strong, while the other caring and helpless. They love and hate each other at the same time, they can't stand yet can't do without each other. The relationship between the two sisters becomes even more complicated when their parents fall sick. |

"Moim
marzeniem było takie skonstruowanie filmu, żeby widz na zmianę śmiał
się i płakał, ale żeby wyszedł z kina zbudowany, a nie podłamany"
