In 1981 we left Poland for a short visit to Germany. My grandmother was desperate, she said she would never see us again. And indeed, because of unforeseeable events we stayed much longer than we thought we would. But finally we should return to Poland for Christmas... It is a story about torn families, longing and loneliness . And how sometimes we are just left to our fate.
