Filmmaker Tomasz Wiszniewski writes and directs this heartwarming family drama about a young runner who vows to help his ailing mother by making a pilgrimage to the Santuary of Jasna Góra and seeking out the blessing that could cue her recovery. Pavel's mother is gravely ill, but her husband is a hopeless drunk and her eldest son is a naïve simpleton who simply is capable of caring for her. Pavel knows that his mother would make the pilgrimage to the Santuary of Jasna Góra personally if she could, but in her current condition that just isn't possible. Perhaps with a little help from his sympathetic coach, a struggling alcoholic, Pavel can summon the strength and conviction needed to make this crucial pilgrimage and find out if miracles really exist.
