No description available.

A story about two childhood friends who are reunited by fate. This reunion after many years becomes an opportunity for a melancholy journey into the past, to recall memories of an irrevocable time gone by, as well as to reflect on true happiness, new values and the meaning of life. The plot of the film takes place as if on two time planes: on the screen, contemporary events are intertwined with images from years ago, when the heroines were still very young and the adult world seemed so distant.

After graduating, Ania and Roman Miłobędzcy moved to the Beskid Mountains to fulfill their youthful dreams. It was here that their children were born. After a dozen or so years of farming in the Beskid meadows, they were close to bankruptcy. They took advantage of a proposal from businessman Bury and traded their Beskid farm for a villa in a town near Warsaw. Their children, Ola, Janek, and Zuza, were deeply affected by the move. The family's hopes were mixed with sadness. The parents' plan proved a disaster. Instead of a villa, they found a dilapidated wooden house, inhabited, moreover, by the quirky and eccentric Franciszek Alba. It quickly became clear that the Miłobędzcy family had fallen victim to a fraud.

Episodes of the Warsaw Uprising as reported by the insurgent radio station "Błyskawica," illustrated with archival photographs and photos of contemporary Warsaw. Professor Tomasz Strzembosz talks about the specifics of the insurgent struggle and the construction of the station's transmitter, which was constantly moved to different buildings in the city center during the fighting. The film attempts to show what "Błyskawica" meant to Home Army soldiers and the residents of Warsaw and recounts what the station reported on, namely the general situation in the city during the uprising, problems with weapons, food, and water, the insurgent postal service, the explosion of a tank trap, the work of ad hoc hospitals, teenage liaison officers and guides in the sewers, and the execution by the Germans of an entire unit that had surrendered.

Christmas is coming. Little Ania dreams of a doll she saw in a shop window.
