Miriam is a mother of five children who has a mission. She wants to prove that Jewish life is still possible in Poland. Coming from an assimilated Polish family, she is a third generation Holocaust survivor. And she believes that Poland is not a big cementary.
In her twenties she decided to go back to het roots - changed her lifestyle and her name becoming a member of the Jewish Orthodox Community. But she remained the same passionate person. She wants to look into the future instead of recollecting the past.
One day Miriam founded Szalom.tv - an internet channel that explores Jewish culture and religion in Poland. She is commanding a small crew of journalists. Their work involves, among others, collecting testimonies of people of Jewish origin who have found their roots. The interaction of a group of good friends in their thirties who create together this television is the core of the film.

Sooner or later it will rise to be a game changer for the main characters' life. The film tells the story of the choice between leaving Poland and staying here.
