Detailed overview: 10-year-old Dima has no parents, and his dreams aren't as simple as wanting a pet or a bike. All he wants in life is to play football. To turn this dream into reality, he needs an adult who'll pretend to be his father for at least one day and sign him up for the soccer club.
He doesn't care whether rich or poor, young or old. He just needs a caregiver who can be there for him during his acceptance test for the football school.
Finally, he finds a "father" who has no money, no documents, and can't even communicate. All he thinks about are cigarettes and parties, while constantly talking about some grandfather he aims to find. Father for a day is not a problem. The problem is to find mutual understanding, because... he is Polish and does not speak a word in Ukrainian!
This is how the story about a "little adult" and a "big child" begins, about one who still believes in miracles and one who lost faith in happiness long ago.
The film portrays how, despite language barriers, incompatible values, and different citizenships, each one of us would agree to become a parent to a lonely child, even for one day. If that can make him happy for the rest of his life.
