Aprašymas

In Painted Blocks, a gripping and realistic drama, Vitek steps off the train, back to the town he grew up in after four years of hard labor in a foreign German warehouse. He had left with huge expectations of an adventure in a big city, making good money and trying to realize childhood goals. Bitter, exhausted, and defeated, he has returned to a place he hopes will give him peace; where the whole community knows his name and expects him to be at church on time.

But you can't go home again and expect to find not a hair out of place. The modernization of gaudy pastel colors on what used to be solid grey housing blocks is only a foreshadowing.

He learns that his cousin Mirek, along with their close circle of friends, aren't the same people they used to be. When Vitek left, he created a vacuum that started a downward spiral for everyone he loves. Now, the most comforting aspect of his return has transformed into the nightmare of a philosophical war. Can Vitek find a way to build new bridges where old ones have collapsed?
