Synopsis
Bartek lives alone with his mother, who is trying to prepare him for an inevitable ordeal: her own death. Between legal precautions and life lessons, she wants to make sure he will be able to face the future without her. But Bartek, a young man with Down syndrome, is caught up in an entirely different emotion: he has just fallen in love for the first time. A tender, luminous drama about love, passing things on and learning to be independent.
