The charming, bittersweet narrative unfolds from siblings Stefek, 6, and Elka, 18, and Elka’s car mechanic boyfriend during a sun-drenched summer in a provincial Polish town. The siblings live with their shopkeeper mother, whose husband dropped her for another woman years earlier, and Stefek’s worldview is shaped by his sister’s bargaining with destiny.
