An energetic and nonverbal 20-year-old Anastazja, with a love for comics and hot chocolate, observes the world from the vantage of her wheelchair. Her unwavering optimism stands in stark contrast to her sister Łucja, a promising ballet prodigy who wrestles with the limitations of her body as she prepares for the coveted ballet opportunity of her dreams.
