"Grandma's Day" is a story about Tomek, who needs money. He cheats an elderly woman, pretending to be her grandson. When it seems that everything goes according to the plan, the woman suddenly unmasks the impostor and locks him up in her apartment. The elderly woman offers him a deal. Tomek will get the money, but he has to pretend to be her grandson when the social worker comes to check whether the infirm woman is cared for by her family. If he sees that she is not – the woman will be forced to move to a nursing home.
