On May 11th 2000, Ola Janczarska choked while washing down a pill and fell into coma. Two years later Alina Mrowinska started to make a film about Ola and her mother, Ewa Blaszczyk. The documentary presents their lives from April 2002 until the present time - Ola's stay at the Children's Hospital, her return home, Ewa's dramatic battle to bring her daughter Ola back to the world. In May 2007, at the "Neurovita" Clinic in Moscow, Ola received a stem cell transplant. Ewa Blaszczyk says that a "light in the tunnel finally showed up."
