POLISH TITLE: OBCZYZNA

Ingushetia is the smallest region of Russia, located in northern Caucasus. This is where the three protagonists of the film come from. They emigrated to Poland to look for better life. They are of the same nationality, but their ambitions differ. Movlat teaches Caucasian dance, Ismail is a successful boxer and Ali is a dancer. Over the course of 10 years, we follow their ups and downs in their new homeland, their attempts to adapt while maintaining traditions from their country of origin. The beginnings look promising, yet after a couple of years problems begin to emerge. And they will affect the protagonists’ future in a seemingly friendly city.
