Drama, in Polish with English and Hungarian subtitles
Mira, a 60 year-old woman, appears to have a normal life. One morning, she starts her day like any other: she wakes up early, puts her family's clothes out to dry, purchases food for her fish and commits a bank robbery with a kitchen knife. She discovers her need for money is surpassed only by her need for love. The film is based on a true story.
