W środku Europy

A small town located right in the middle of Europe, but in reality probably at the end of the world. It is dominated by the depressing atmosphere of the Stalinist era, the still vivid memory of wartime atrocities, and bitter ethnic conflicts. Above all, however, the town has its own secret. Seven years earlier, a bloody pogrom against Jews took place here. Bogdan, the son of one of the victims, tries to uncover the truth. Torn between his father's story and his mother's story, a witness to the madness of Chaimka, a survivor of the pogrom, he flees the hardships of growing up in the "middle of Europe" only to return years later to the cemetery where his parents are buried.
