They planned to spend only three months in Germany. Unexpectedly, the imposition of martial law forced the mother and the daughter to change their plans. Will the grandmother who said they would never see each other again turn out to be right? In this documentary animation the narrator is remembering her own story. A nostalgic film about loneliness, longing and the unpredictability of human faith around which the audience is guided by a little girl and Barnaby the bear, while the lullaby ‘From the Ashtray of Wojtuś…’ can be heard in the background.
