The movie is a bitter-sweet morality play on human nature. It is a realistic image of people who are trying to solve problems the only way they know. They do not realize that the help they need is close and might be just behind the corner. Paweł is a 12-year-old boy who finds out that his mother is dying of cancer. The doctors claim that only a miracle could save her. As the boy is a deeply religious person, he strongly believes that it is highly possible. He decides to run a marathon to the most famous Polish holy place - Częstochowa. He is convinced that if he succeeds, his mother will miraculously recover. As it is too late to join the pilgrimage, the boy decides to run on his own. The only person who takes care of the boy is a physical education teacher who is an alcoholic. While the teacher is afraid that he can lose his job because of his addiction, the boy cannot stand the thought of losing the only parent he has got left.
