POLISH TITLE: ZIEMIA BEZDOMNYCH

Father Paleczny, a monk who devoted his life to help the homeless, came up with an idea of building a huge yacht that would take him and his charges around the Earth. He died in 2009, but his last will is still valid. A group of his friends from Warsaw faces this ambitious challenge that requires coordination of many people’s work, perseverance and, above all, sobriety. One of the protagonists is a welder, Sławek. Can he overcome his alcohol addiction and finish the job?
