Immigration, living in a foreign country always brings hardships, ordeals and loneliness. But Helena, a Russian living in Poland, seems to be a successful and accomplished creator of an amateur theater, a loving and loved wife and mother. Could there be any other side to her life? Will the director manage to reach and reveal it? One thing is for sure, he manages to break the stereotype of poor Russians making living selling smuggled cigarettes. Yet there is another layer, the director's narration on how virtually impossible it is to break such a stereotype in a film.The film was made under „Russia and Poland. New Gaze” project, 1st edition. The project was realized by Eureka Media and Adam Mickiewicz Institute with financial support of Polish Film Institute.
