Lucjan is a theatre actor whose health is failing. He fets his lines on stage and feels nfused and out of place in his daily life. He decides to end his acting career and soon winds up in a nursing home. In this new place, the elderly man misses his late wife. He sts having nightmares that seem to bee real. In one of them, he disvers a passage into a magical world deceptively similar to his theatre. Lucjan sts living in two parallel dimensions – real life and the fairy tale – that bee increasingly dependent on each other and intertwined. His immersion in the imaginary world leads to an unexpected ending. A bittersweet treatise on passing. The fairy-tale world Lucjan creates is not so much a metaphor for death as a symbolic renciliation to its ing.
