Fighting against windmills

After the Second World War most people thought that now persecution of the Jews and anti-semitism had come to a stop. But after the Polish student rebellion in 1968 an anti-semitic group was re-started. The film tells the story of a group of Polish Jews, who were thrown out of Poland during that period. The painter Theodor Bok, the poet Janina Katz, Milla and Michael Wedrowski were among those who were lucky to get asylum in Denmark. When they left Poland, they lost their Polish citizenship and instead got a non acknowledged international document, a kind of passport, in which it was written that the owner of this document is no longer a Polish citizen. At that time Denmark welcomed about 3000 persons who where in such a situation. Twenty years later they draw up the balance sheet with respect to their new country and their native Poland. Where do they belong today? They are all artists and are well-adjusted on the surface, but they all have wounds in their souls which still make them yearn and never find peace.
