Synopsis
In a small workshop near Warsaw, Bernadeta runs a Hospital for Dolls and Plush toys. Within just a few square meters, there is everything: piles of toys, drawers full of fabrics, tools, spare parts. A micro-world. And the whole world for her.
By following her work, we observe how she brings beloved toys back to life and discover touching stories of her clients.
Bernadeta notices that we live in a world full of objects. We own so many that they lose their meaning. So she decides to fight an unequal battle against consumerism by repairing the precious ones. It's also a pretext to tell that each of us needs unconditional love, understanding and to be listened.
The film’s structure is based on showing one day of Bernadeta’s work, with the action taking place entirely inside her workshop.
