Forty five years of marriage is an impressive anniversary. Barbara and Zdzisaw could be proud of themselves if not for the fact that the husband left the wife for his lover eight years ago. But now they are together again, although Barbara claims that if it were not for his infirm legs, Zdzisaw would still be chasing skirts around Cracow. Despite the past resentment, everyday problems with paying bills, an occupied bathroom and rearranging furniture, they have a hard to define bond.

HEALTH RESORT VISITORS [KURACJUSZ JESTEM]

Loneliness affects many elderly people. This documentary presents the history of six pensioners, who arrive to a sanatorium not only to improve their health, but also to look for love. The visitors of the health resort, by their hysterical, often funny adventures, prove that youth is primarily a state of mind and that it is never too late for romance.
Samotnosc dotyka wielu starszych ludzi. Dokument przedstawia historie szóstki emerytów i rencistów, dla których przyjazd do sanatorium jest zarówno okazjs do podreperowania zdrowia, jak i szansa na znalezienie milosci. Bohaterowie dokumentu udowodnili widzom, ze nigdy nie jest za póno na romans.
