Summary

The story of a family, whose youngest member - seven-year-old Voyta - was born with Down's Syndrome. The father feels that his son would be better off with similarly disabled children in an institution, but the mother is intent on dedicating herself to caring for the boy. The family's story is seen through the eyes of Voyta's twelve-year-old sister - Andulka
