בישראל, הסופרת אידה פינק רק מתחילה לזכות להכרה לה היא ראויה: היא כותבת את סיפוריה בפולנית ולכן נותרה אנונימית יחסית משך שנים רבות. בחו"ל, היא כבר קיבלה פרסים רבים, הביקורות מהללות את יצירתה וסיפרה "עקבות" אף צוין כאחד הספרים הבולטים של שנת 1997 ברשימה היוקרתית של ה"ניו-יורק טיימס", והיה ברשימת המומלצים שלו. סרט זה זורה אור על הסופרת, הכותבת במכונת כתיבה פולנית ישנה, בדירתה הצנועה בחולון, שם היא גרה מאז עלתה לישראל מפולין בשנת 1957.
