Filmmaker Arjun Talwar has lived in Poland for many years. As a brown-skinned foreigner he has often struggled with his integration into this conservative and rather racist society. In this film, he observes a single street in central Warsaw, documenting his love-hate relationship with Polish people and culture. As fear of yet another war in Europe emerges, the filmmaker captures a country that is still struggling with its past while re-negotiating its future.
