It portrays a group of elderly patients who are staying at an ordinary polish hospital. From these people we can learn how to preserve dignity and cheerfulness in situations where the end of life is near. Doctors, while performing their regular activities, talk to patients. The characters don't complain, they smile and make jokes. The conversations are an opportunity for the patients to reflect on and look back over their lives.
