Storyline
This movie reflects on the situation around the border between Poland and Germany. The fate of many single characters creates a picture of life in this region: Some Ukrainians want to cross the border illegal to get into Germany, a company wants to build a new factory, a Polish taxi driver desperately needs money to buy his daughter a communion dress, and so on.

Simply amazing storytelling. Sad and true told. A mustsee! Author takes you into the time where everything changes, people cheating each other out of misery and therefore messing up their own lives...fear and hope, love and despair...look for it in this movie and you won't be disappointed. Very important serious cinema still in a light way!
