Residents of retirement house are watching a TV weather forecast that tells a hard winter. When the vans bring a large shipment of coffins the same night, the old people will suspect someone is getting them ready for death. Together they decide to escape. Soon, a police unit began to be on their feet, the whole action reminds of chasing the criminals. The film was made at the turn of 1981/82 and surprisingly became a metaphor of the Polish political situation of that time. His premiere was postponed to 1983 due to historical events in Poland.
