The monotonous existence of the underage residents at the Home for Oligophrenics, designated as No. 8, is marginally diversified by preparations for Children's Day. Marching and gymnastic routines are rehearsed. In instances where the impaired children fail to perform adequately, physical violence is administered. Every effort is made to ensure the institution presents a favorable image to the ministerial superiors. Conversely, these children, disadvantaged by nature, find their own small joys—some enjoy singing, others dancing, and some playing football. However melancholic life at Home No. 8 may appear, it remains a sunlit paradise compared to the destination awaiting everyone who reaches the age of 18: the home for adult oligophrenics No. 6.
