The film follows 5 protagonists of the book. Since the book's subjects remain anonymous, the documentary adaptation features actors portraying their roles. A 40-year-old writer, Marcin, cleans his alcoholic mother's mountain home after sending her to rehab, while the 'real' Marcin's recorded conversation weaves between past trauma and present healing. 35-year-old Ania examines old family photos (original subject's archive) on a date, while confronting her relationship with her mother, a respected psychiatrist who died from alcoholism. A streetwise 25-year-old Marek leads viewers through his city in what appears to be a documentary, until reality warps to reveal he's serving 25 years in prison. A 25-year-old art student, Karolina confronts family tensions at her mother's gallery opening, masking her own alcoholism behind humor. A 70-year-old taxi driver, Włodek reads a letter to his deceased alcoholic father during therapy, leading to an imagined encounter that helps heal old wounds.
