Obce niebo
Basia and Marek are a young couple from Poland. In a way, they have been running away all their lives. Now they live in a small Swedish town, where they lead immigrants' lives in a rich country. The only person that speaks Swedish is their seven-year-old daughter, Ula. Life is a struggle. When Anita, a Social Office worker visits them at home, she observes Ula's life through the prism of the local culture and feels that, to Swedish standards, the child is neglected and unhappy. The parents don't take her advice seriously, but due to a series of misunderstandings, Ula is taken away from them and placed in temporary foster care with a Swedish couple. Basia and Marek are desperate. They do not understand how the system can just take their child, but have to follow procedures to fight the decision. Will they decide to stick together and not give up on Ula? Will they rebuild their bond and their family? When the legal route to get her back brings no results, the couple decides to kidnap their child. A psychological drama set against a backdrop of socially orientated cinema, drawing inspiration from true events that have befallen people who have immigrated to Scandinavian countries.
