Synopsis
A dramatic tale of altruism and xenophobia, about our fear of the unknown and the feeling of being threatened that awakens the demon of racism hidden in every one of us. A picture of the current existential feeling of central Europeans, who were isolated in the past by the Iron Curtain and whose insular incubator has been shattered before their eyes and turned into the global village. Above all else, the intimate story of a few ordinary people, who after a long period of silence, separation and lies, look for and find the strength and courage to find their way to one another, to forgiveness and reconciliation, and their own private way out of chaos...
