Description

Years ago, the two Poles Juliusz (92) and Krzysztof (77) decided to drop out. Since then, the wilderness on the shore of the Polish Lake Solina - far away from civilization - has been their home. In his small apartment in Masuria, Juliusz, 91, dreams of summer. All he wants is to escape to his cabin in the Carpathians, on the shores of Lake Solina, where he lives a simple, rustic life. Krzysztof, at 77, is a youngster by comparison. He came to the forest in 1981 to escape political repression and never left. He believes his life in the countryside is the key to happiness.
