WE HOPE YOU WON’T NEED TO COME BACK

OBYŚ NIE MUSIAŁA TUTAJ WRÓCIĆ

A young girl immigrated. Having to function in a new environment is slowly transforming into a routine, and herself, into a modern Frankenstein’s creation. The new approach and behaviour no longer match the old habits and patrimonial stereotypes. The decision to reunite with family and return the feeling of comfort became a turning point and reveals the process which modern immigrants experience.
