Tomek, Marcel Łoziński's son, is 18 years old. Exactly 12 years ago, when he was 6, his father filmed him during a visit to a park in Warsaw. Tomek stopped near elderly people and, with childlike naivety, asked them about joy, loneliness, fear of death, dreams, love... On his birthday, Tomek returns to the garden of his childhood.
