The story spans over several years, with each episode taking place a year later than the previous. Each episode is set in a house decorated by IKEA. the cast includes Iza Kuna, Piotr Adamczyk, Kazimierz Kaczor and Maria Maj.
"The house is the arena for a lot of the changes taking place in life. With the help of this original concept, we want to show how the interiors change with the protagonists. The products and designs from IKEA are not only the scenery; they play a role in each of the episodes. We have planned eight episodes, each one eight minutes long. It is a pioneer length for TV branded content. The feature form of the series is also a novelty, we are stepping away from the format of mini-episodes that the viewers are used to," said Karolina Szabłowska, External Marketing Communication Manager for IKEA Retail in Poland.
