Go and get a taxi now.

Help me, son.

Tell them that my illness isn't contagious.

But mum, why?

Give me my bag.

Mum, it's peaceful here.

Please take me home.

Neighbours will take care of me.

It will be better this way.

They take care of you here.

Nevermind.

I don't need anything.

The doctor says

not much can be done and he's right.

Give me the shoes.

Please!

Otherwise I'll have to go by myself.

I think it should be consulted with the doctor...

Tell them it is my request. Go, my boy.

Doctor...

Excuse me, doctor.

My mother wants to leave the hospital

and I don't think her condition allows to...

Can you advise me anything?

Do what your mother wants.

Don't object to her.

So there's no hope?

There's always hope but the chances...

aren't too big.

Mum?

Let's go.

Have a sit,

I'll get a taxi now.

Wait a minute please, I'll bring the sick person.

Where are you...?!

Bastard!

I have to get some rest now.

Witus, go back to Warsaw.

You can't give up your job.

I have kind people around me.

Go, help her.

- I'll help you.

- No, thank you, I'll manage.

Leave me alone please,

I'd like to get some rest now.

Fine.

Here, take this.

- No, I don't want it.

- You'll sleep well.

No, thank you.

There must be some way out.

A chance, hope! What am I supposed to do?

A friend of mine from Warsaw knows a man

who cures by putting his palms on a sick person.

He often comes to the town so you could

try and bring your mum to him.

Give me the address.

Is there someone with her now?

Yes, the neighbours come in turns.

So why don't you stay here and sleep.

Of course if you want to.

How can he manage to see all these people?

It's just a moment, a touch of the hand.

And this touch helps?

If one believes so.

Bring your mother just on time

so that she won't have to wait.

Are there any chances

he'll come here this year?

Unfortunately not, he was here in autumn.

Do you take money from patients?

Are you a prosecutor?

No, but... Everyone takes it.

Not everyone.

I don't take money, neither does the young doctor.

But others do.

They take it

because they desperately need money?

They take it because they want to.

Good to know that it still surprises you.

I'll bring Grazyna, she'll give you an injection.

You are in pain, I can see it.

It will bring relief.

Let me go for her.

I don't want it.

But you suffer.

It's for your sake.

You wanted to ask me something?

Yes.

Explain it to me, Father

I'm sorry.

My mother wants to you come

and give her extreme unction.

It's now called Anointing of the Sick.

Even the Church

is afraid to talk about death.

Does my mother understand what's being said?
