PYRAMID CHILDREN

POLISH TITLE: DZIECI PIRAMIDY

A story about life on former state-owned farms where, after the collapse of the system, people can’t find prospects for themselves. They watch indifferently the crowds of tourists who come to visit the monuments of the pre-war Prussian noblemen. The most popular monument is a pyramid-shaped tomb built by the Farenheit family. Children noticed a chance which was neglected by their parents. To improve the life of their families, they started to work as tour guides.
