In Decrescendo, Marta Minorowicz shows us round a Care Home for Senior Citizens that is not just a place of sickness, loneliness and decay – though all of that is evident – but also, in an inimitably wondrous way, a place full a zest for life, happiness and beauty. And responsible for that aspect is Tomek, a young psychologist. When he jokes, play cards, makes music and smokes with the residents or when he dances with a former ballerina still seated … magical moments occur.
