The story takes us into their actual lives their fears, hopes and first loves. The director asked young people to send their own clips in order to create a profile of youth born after the turmoil and transformations that Europe experienced in the early 90’s, these people don’t remember communism, lack of products in shops or closed borders. Among hours of recordings, seven main characters were chosen to represent the generation of people born after 89’. Viewers have a chance to get to know Wojtek, Ela, Mikolaj, Martyna, Adam, Lukasz and Małgosia – their first love fascinations, betrayals, breakups and the need to fulfill their dreams. These young people are full of passion, trying to make it happen for them, they want to love and be loved; they would like to share their emotions and thrills with others despite the fact that there are some failures and downs on the way.
