The film raises the problem of stereotypes related to the role of women and men in the modern world, their thoughtless duplication and indoctrination that is regarding children from an early age with the help of toys adapted to their gender. The artist by contrast juxtaposes the image of a girl playing with a doll with controversial views about women and their place in society – the innocence of a carefree child emphasises the absurdity and the terrifying tone of the quoted words. Although, the excerpts seem to come from the distant past, apart from fragments from the letters of St. Paul, they are taken from texts created in the 21st century, i.e. from “Wędrując ku dorosłości” (“Wandering Towards Adulthood”) textbook for family upbringing for students of grades 1-3 of junior high school by Teresa Król and from fragments of statements by Paweł Murziński, a priest of the Białystok diocese and PhD of moral theology. The juxtaposition of these statements makes them ridiculous gibberish. In combination with presented image it draws attention to the fact that children learn by observing and repeating the behaviour of adults, reproducing models adopted in everyday life.
