Oskar

(Oskar)

Oskar is ten when he meets Niebieska. She is seven years old. They immediately go to bed together, but are afraid to kiss as to "not get pregnant". They are both terminally ill with cancer and are patients at a children's hospital. Oskar and Niebieska have no idea how much time they have left. Róża, a hospital volunteer, is their matchmaker. She appears out of nowhere and gives children hope. Like a prophet, she creates a religion and a vision of god for them. But, Oskar does not trust God anymore. He has watched a lot of nature films where he saw animals kill each other to survive. The one that is hurt suffers before it dies. The God who invented suffering is hard to comprehend for Oskar. Róża’s God gives the children a promise to fulfill their every wish, on condition that the wishes are only of the spiritual matter and the children are limited to one wish a day. A miracle occurs: Oskar’s wishes begin to coming true.
