An attempt to confront the painful events of the year 1968 - the outbreak of anti-Semitic hysteria that resulted in many citizens of Jewish origin leaving Poland. For 20 years emigrants have been meeting in Israeli resort of Ashkelon by the Mediterranean Sea. Forty years have passed since they left, yet Poland is still present in their homes. Gdanski Railway Station - from which they departed - is now the symbol of their exile, the symbol of a turning point that splits their lives in two parts. Contemporary stories are intertwined with unique archive materials.
