"I was eight the last time I saw my sister. She was standing in the doorway, crying, wearing plastic bags instead of socks. When I asked why, she said her shoes were wet and she couldn't afford new ones. Then she left. That was the last time I saw her. 27 years later, a letter arrived from her. But instead of bringing us together, it was thrown away. Without telling anyone, I started looking for her. I found her in Spain - imprisoned. Her story is a tale of survival I could never have imagined." (director Lea Podhradská)
