Studies suggest that somewhere around 90% of women in Western countries are unhappy with their bodies. This isn’t really surprising in societies which place a heavy emphasis on female desirability, and where being seen as desirable can have a huge impact on opportunities in life. For most such women, however, those issues are relatively minor. For Julka (Anna Dzieduszycka), appearance is a much bigger deal, because she’s a little person, and as such she faces significant social barriers.
Without much hope of a better life, Julka has drifted into a job as a cleaner in a small, run-down motel. She gets along well with co-worker Renata (Dorota Pomykala) but doesn’t have much opportunity to meet people, and she has the wariness about her which everyone who has to deal with stigma acquires sooner or later. Bogdan (Szymon Piotr Warszawski) breaks through that. He’s a truck driver whose route means that he.
