A street in cen­tral Warsaw is the focus of this wit­ty and per­so­nal por­trait of Poland. Filmmaker Arjun Talwar immi­gra­ted to the coun­try a deca­de ago but still strug­gles to fit in. Ulica Wilcza, the street whe­re he lives, has not real­ly hel­ped mat­ters. In an attempt to acce­le­ra­te his inte­gra­ti­on, he beg­ins film­ing his neigh­bours, sound­ing out his rela­ti­onships with them and see­king ways to over­co­me his own fee­lings of ali­en­ati­on. With the help of his fri­end Mo, ano­ther immi­grant-tur­ned-film­ma­ker, Arjun unco­vers the hid­den secrets of the street, reve­al­ing a host of char­ming inha­bi­tants. He finds other peo­p­le like hims­elf who are living bet­ween the past and pre­sent, bet­ween an ima­gi­ned home­land and the real one. The street con­nects them all like an invi­si­ble thread, offe­ring solace in the melan­cho­ly of ever­y­day life. Along this kilo­met­re-long stretch, a pic­tu­re of modern Europe emer­ges, expo­sing a kalei­do­scope of con­tra­dic­tions and anxie­ties as a for­eign film­ma­ker holds up a mir­ror to a coun­try that is often per­cei­ved as homo­ge­neous, unwel­co­ming and poli­ti­cal­ly right-wing.
