Contents/Summary
- Summary
- The arrival of an American couple at the children’s home in Przesieka near Szklarska Poręba in the summer of 1997 caused commotion. It was even greater when Rita and Robert Jurotich decided to adopt five siblings, a rare occurrence in Poland. Overnight, Oktawia aged 14, Sylwek aged 12, Andrzej aged 11, Artur aged 6 and 4-year old Kasia were offered a chance at a happy life. Soon after their arrival to the US, however, it turned out that their idyllic dreams were crushed by brutal everyday life. The film records dramatic experiences of the children over the period of 15 years.
