dir Balbina Bruszewska

Poland is situated in the centre of Europe, and in the centre of Poland there is Lodz. The name of it means “a boat” although there is no active river nearby and there are no water basins around. Escapes from Lodz (from “a boat”) happen most often through the dry land to Warsaw and Great Britain. But many return because the closest world is where the heart and memories live.
