LONG DAY TOMORROW

There is an educational and treatment center for lepers and their families in Jeevodaya. It was here that, thirty years ago, Helena Pyz came from Poland to help sick and hungry children. Over the years, she feels her weakness more and more clearly, but her strength of character prevents her from giving up to her own illness. Long-term documentary observation allows us to understand what was the unique role of a missionary and doctor. Surrounded by reckless people, Dr. Helena seems to be the only person who notices the meaning of the center’s activities and its disinterested character.
