DESCRIPTION

Two worlds: a scientist and a painter, a pragmatist and a dreamer.  Alfons and Mieczysław Kułakowski clash with each other and love each other. Torn between Poland and Kazakhstan, ambition and submission, memories and the present, they never stop fighting: in Soviet Russia, in the remote Siberia, and after being repatriated – in capitalist Poland. Years later, when fire claims their long-desired house along with everything they own, brotherly love is once again put to the test.  Will they be able to start anew?
