Ogrodowa Street in Lódz - just opposite a crowded shopping center, a state-of-the-art museum and a posh hotel - is where some of the city's poorest live, completely forgotten by the world. A heart-warming and funny portrait of people excluded from the mainstream of social life; people who might be more capable of sacrifice and love than those who pushed them to the sidelines of society.

Adam has had a series of failures in his life: his aunt had just died, and his inherited apartment was flooded by a troublesome neighbor from above. The man visits her and tries to intervene. A chance meeting turns into an emotional rollercoaster, the life and happiness of the heroes at stake.

Agnieszka Jaskolka returns with her daughter to her hometown to reconcile with her father. The trip will be a journey back in time to her childhood years.
