A few grey buildings in the English countryside. This is the last of temporary camps in Britain where up to thirty thousand former Polish resistance fighters and their families found refuge in the wake of the second world war. 110 eighty-year olds still live there – most of them hail from eastern Poland, annexed by the U.S.S.R. after the Yalta agreement. They had been victims of Stalinism and Nazism. Now, without country or home, there is no end in sight to their suffering.
