Forest

A family built a secluded life for themselves deep in the Białowieża Forest along the Poland-Belarus border. But are they willing to share their wilderness paradise with the border-crossing refugees searching for safety and sanctuary among the same ancient trees this family calls home?After graduating from university, Asia and Marek bought an old house near the eastern borderof Poland. There in Białowieża Forest—the oldest forest of Europe—the couple created theirown paradise over the years, a place where their children could grow up safely, away fromthe problems of today's world. For Marysia, Ignacy, and Franek the forest became their secondhome. Yet one day, things change when strangers show up: refugees, unwelcome both in Poland and Belarus. Despite controversial border laws, the whole family helps those who are in need. This new reality impacts the children's world: they no longer play knights and princesses, but refugees and border guards. The growing humanitarian crisis on the EU border entered the family's safe place, leaving nothing as it was.
