GRANDPA'S ORCHARD
POLISH TITLE: SAD DZIADKA
The Volhynian massacre remains a taboo subject for the next generations of Poles and Ukrainians. Karolina’s family spoke about the events in which their relatives were murdered behind a closed door only. To discover the truth about her ancestors, Karolina sets off on a journey to Volhynia. She is accompanied by a Ukrainian cameraman, Oleksandr, who also wants to find out about the story of his family members. Together, they explore the area, once inhabited by Poles, whose landscape is now made of empty fields. They talk to local residents, some of whom still remember the tragic events of 1943.
