A documentary about extraordinary work of surgeons from a hospital in Trzebnica. Since the 1970s they’ve been pioneers in the field of organ transplantation.

In 2006, 12 years after the accident, they transplanted a hand. The filmmakers have reached out to these patients and doctors many years after to retell their stories.
