Butcher Franciszek finds out that his mother is dying. Unable to care for her himself, he hires Mrs. Palchowa, a local expert in the matters of life and death. Unfortunately, nothing is as simple as it seems to be at first. Franciszek's mother hides a dark secret from the past, and it begins to reveal itself. Very unusual things take place in the house.
