    • Synopsis
    • When an actor loses his speech, does he stop being an actor? Adam is at the height of fame. The stage is his life, and he often chooses acting over relationships with those dear to him. He once played a sinful but noble angel. Now he needs its help. Adam suffers a serious stroke. The doctors fight for his life, but give him no chance of returning to the “living”. His wife Agnieszka believes that despite being in a coma, her husband is out there somewhere. You just have to get through to him. And motivate him to come back. And then to learn everything anew, because his illness takes away speech and physical fitness. The fight begins to fulfil the promise that Adam will get back on stage and perform one day. Probably for the first time in the history of cinema, a film starring an actor who had a stroke and suffers from aphasia and paralysis. Inspired by the story of Krzysztof Globisz.
