Janusz is an attorney who lives in Warsaw. He and his daughter Olga have not yet overcome the death of the recently-deceased wife and mother. Olga has become bulimic after losing her mother, which leads her to a failed suicide attempt, following which Janusz decides to place his daughter in a therapy clinic. Anna, the therapist at the clinic, uses unconventional methods to cure Olga and the girls in her therapy group. Even the rational Janusz, who in his professional life relies only on scientific facts, is willing to give these methods a chance. A black comedy about being alive, coping with loss, and what comes after death.
