Film premiere + discussion

Documentary / PL 2025 / Director: Małgorzata Frymus / 80 min. / FSK12

For 80 years, West Pomerania has been home to many Poles whose grandparents and parents came here after the Second World War. Today, many of them wonder who "built their home". Traces of the former inhabitants can be found today in lapidaries that have been set up in recent years in the villages around Goleniów and in Goleniów itself.

Lapidaries were created for various reasons: out of shame to show descendants the destroyed cemeteries, which were overgrown with greenery or covered with garbage; because someone had dug up fragments of gravestones from their own garden, where they had been knocked over by a bulldozer years ago; because cast-iron, buried crosses were sticking out of the ground ...

Wojciech Janda - a long-time resident of Goleniów - feels calmer on November 1 when he can light a small candle to thank those who "built our home". The search for the DNA of this land is his passion and mission.

Writer/director: Małgorzata Frymus // Cinematographer: Łukasz Nyks.
