Leonora Čepulienė is 78 years old. She lives with her husband’s dwarf children, whom she continues to care for evern after his death. Thanks to her help, these children have now become adults. The film gently follows the story of its protagonists, as it focuses on their faces, observes their gestures, their looks, their moments of embarrassment, the scenes from their every day lives. —Festival dei Popoli
