Grappling with an inheritance of violence and loss, Mak drifts between memory and reality, accompanied by a mysterious figure.

What changed and what remained in border towns where the German presence was erased after World War II? Two young filmmakers delve into what we still find in the present-day Polish city of Kąty Wrocławskie, formerly Kanth.

The film weaves together archival footage of Yugoslavia’s idealized unity with a personal investigation into the filmmaker’s grandfather’s imprisonment under the regime. Rooted in archival theory, the project questions the authority of official histories, exploring how archives shape power and memory.
