The leads of this film are parents accompanying their sick children to hospitals. In hospital wards (often completely unprepared for that) the parents spend weeks, months in very harsh conditions: sleeping in chairs, on the floor, often without dining facilities, and with no bathrooms to wash themselves.Little does it matter to them, though. Most important, they may be by their children`s bedside all the time. The leads are three parents and their children: the mother of David ill with cancer, the father of Patrycja who has had a kidney transplant, and the mother of Alicja with a heart condition. The camera accompanies the parents and kids during their daily routines (talks with doctors, keeping watch over the kid, games, etc.) as well as during dramatic situations. This is a film about parental love and devotion.
