An unidentified protagonist looks at old photographs from the family album. Scenes on the beach, on vacation. Scenes with his siblings on the couch. Innocent poses, laughter. In contrast, the narrator describes memories of his and his siblings' emotional and physical abuse at the hands of his mother. Gradually, the social and personal dynamics behind the system of violence are revealed, and the suffering of the victims, who oscillate between pain, guilt and grief lasting into adulthood, is described.
The film is presented as part of the project Cinema as a Laboratory V co-founded by the Foundation for Polish-German Cooperation.
