The film follows a Warsaw mother (Agata Kulesza) and her son (Grzegorz Pałkowski), who are evicted from their apartment. Everything takes place in November 2013, when the city is rocked by huge demonstrations, including by young nationalists.
"I want to show Warsaw without make up, how it really is. The street scenes were shot with an authentic crowd as I wanted images full of brutal realism", Jakimowski told FNE. The film will feature archive footage of street fights shot by the journalist Tomas Rafa.
