Imieniny

The residents of a social welfare home in Krakow - homeless, some mentally disabled, some autistic - all under the leadership of a charismatic and autocratic carer, prepare an artistic program on the occasion of the name day of the head of the facility. The big day is coming. The birthday girl arrives. An unusual sight for a social welfare home - gentlemen in borrowed elegant suits and white scarves and ladies in long dresses. Poems, wishes, dances, a ceremonial moment. And then... corridors and what is "the most important and most interesting" - looking out the window - i.e. routine.
