EVOLUTION
POLISH TITLE: ROZWÓJ
In the very middle of the Ojców National Park there is a house. The house is a shelter for about seventy old and ailing men. Some of them are mentally retarded or ill, some disabled, and others blind or deaf. They are waiting for death. They are doing their best to fight against overwhelming matter. Any instance of overcoming matter, and getting closer to another human being becomes a heroic act, a mind-over-matter victory for them.
