synopsis

A giant car factory now stands where premium-quality cabbage used to be grown. The drastic impact on the landscape was accompanied by an equally painful split in society. Not every inhabitant of the small Silesian village welcomed the arrival of the Asian car factory with open arms. The very sale of the land on which the modern complex was to be built stirred up bad blood in the peaceful village. A documentary about the grim but also cheerful consequences of globalisation reveals what also lies behind the attractive facade of promotional videos and marketing phrases. And it raises the question of whether the good of the world and the place where we live is always really taken into consideration.

“I don't programmatically cultivate expectations. Because when I go to a place and meet real, concrete people, what I have imagined always changes fundamentally.”
