The unknown face of Poland. There is a small, forgotten village in Poland, where the life is like before many years, very simple. This world will soon disappear. The village is slowly dying. The way to asphalt is very long - to make it shorter the people built the hanging bridge. Josef, an old man, who lives there, cannot find himself in a new political situation in Poland. He critisises communism but at the same time he thinks, that the old life was better. He doesn`t know where to look for a justice today. The family of Bozenka try to not loose an optimism. When the people lost their faith in justice, they can have very dangerous ideas. So looks sometimes demokracy like. 20 years ago in Poland the regime of Jaruzelski decided to share power with Solidarity (opposition). Some perceived this as the end of communism.
