Initially, Benjamin's father wanted to throw him into the river, but then he began to run away from the policeman and left the baby at the first house he came across. The nursing home turned out to be the perfect place for Benjamin. Being among the elderly, he felt happy. He liked the peace and quiet of this house, people who are no longer in a hurry, do not want to prove anything to anyone, do not fight for anything. They just live and wait in the wings, not resisting the passage of time.
