Brothers. The infinite octogenarians

Two octogenarian brothers who managed to escape Soviet work camp are unable to escape from each other. They love but at the same time they hate each other.

Yet throughout their lives they had to rely on each other: in the Stalinist work camp, in communist Russia and then, after repatriation, in capitalist Poland.

One of them is an artist and a dreamer, the other one – a pragmatic scientist. The greatest dream of the painter is to organize a big exhibition of his works.

But his house, with several thousands of his paintings, burns down. Will he be able to start his life once again?
