A man’s journey of losing, then finding, home.
Australia in the early 60s. An exotic and distant country where everything seems old-fashioned, culturally backward and unknown. A young man, Alek, attempts to define himself in this unwanted new reality after being forced to leave his love, his friends, his beloved Warsaw, and the life he knew.
Can he cope with the alienation? Is he ever going to return? Is he ever going to call Australia his home?
Kristof Kaczmarek takes us back and gives a light-hearted account of the everyday reality of a migrant that shines a light on the hopes, failures and joys of building a new life, surrounded by strangers.
