After graduating from university, Asia and Marek bought an old house near Poland’s Eastern border. There, in Białowieża Forest, the oldest forest of Europe, over the years the couple created their own paradise – a place where their children can grow up safely, away from the problems of the modern world. Yet one day, things change as strangers show up. These refugees are not welcome, neither in Poland nor in Belarus. Ignoring controversial border laws, the whole family helps those who are in need.

The new reality shows its impact on the children’s world: they no longer play knights and princesses, but refugees and border guards. The growing humanitarian crisis on the EU border entered the family’s safe place, leaving nothing as it used to be.
