Contents/Summary

Summary
A personal, intergenerational story of the director’s family. After WW II Poland pursued the policy of the ethnic flattening of the Polish society. Thanks to that policy the issue of the post-war problems of native inhabitants of Recover Territories was eliminated from the public discourse. The director’s grandmother, afraid of domestic aggression and public humiliation, had never revealed her national identity. She pretended to be a Pole her whole life. Her secret had strong influence on her entire family. The director discovered the indirect influence of the war on his own life as a result of the way his mother was raised. Now it is only honesty that can help them reconstruct their relations.
