<< Yesterday night steam filled the car and I found coolant on the floor.
 I hoped that hoses to/from heater just came off but today I found them
 attached and not broken. 
 And it seems to me that if even hose(s) come off coolant should not
 drip  inside. Am I right? What might leak except heater core? Any
 plastic joints?
 Everything looked as hose broke: no leak and then flood. I thought that
 if core leaks it does it gradually, increasing little by little.

could be your rear heater core, they are famous for  leaking..is your rear 
cargo area carpet wet?  best thing to do temporarily is remove the rear 
heater core, make a U shapped fitting w/ copper pipe, then attach both lines 
together, tighten w/ hose clamps.
