To Poles, Perestrojka did not mean instant easing of all shackles. Two brothers Jedrek, 15, and Grzes, 12, see their parents suffer in the aftermath of dictatorship and prepare their flight to Denmark. Director Maciej Dejzcer has a both sad and suspenseful story to tell of how the kids engineer their escape and of the way their hopes were thwarted once they reached their Promised Land.

Det Danske Filminstitut registrerer international festivaldeltagelse og priser til danske film,

og primært i forbindelse med de festivaler, som Filminstituttet har prioriteret at samarbejde med.
Registreringen af festivaldeltagelse og priser til danske film, der ikke er i festivaldistribution,
foretages kun for "launch"-festivaler ifølge Filminstituttets prioriterede festivalliste. Se listen over prioriterede festivaler.
