STOPOVER

POLISH TITLE: PRZYSTANEK

Bread, soup, and tea are the basic meal delivered by Robert, Witek and Adam. It allows the most needy inhabitants of Łódź to survive winter. For (the) homeless shelter residents, evening rides create an opportunity to meet others and escape the monotony of the institution. "Stopover" is a story of people who strive for some warmth and a little bit of understanding in the rough, cold, and brutal world of those who live a low-life. They try to change their life for the better, just like we all do.
