A woman in her 80s is portrayed in three different roles - sister, grandmother and actress - in scenes from everyday life, reflecting on life, death and old age.
Basia lives alone, but is delighted to have visitors and in her old age tries to remain an energetic and active person. The film is divided into three distinct parts in which she meets her sister, then spends time with her niece, and finally we learn that she is an actress who has not retired from acting, rehearsing her lines and participating in a street theater performance. The director succeeds in creating a complete, intimate and profound portrait, sensitively appropriating a character who is tragic and at the same time full of life, following her daily routine, aware of the little time she has left on this earth.
