After several decades, they finally meet in their hometown. Award-winning filmmaker Roman Polański and his world-famous friend, photographer Ryszard Horowitz. Two artists, who first met as children in the Jewish ghetto established by the Germans in occupied Poland, return to the beautiful city of Cracow to wander around the cobbled streets and recall happy memories of childhood as well as tragic wartime experiences.

Two artists, world-famous photographer Ryszard Horowitz and award-winning film director Roman Polański, return to Cracow to wander along the pathways of their wartime experiences. They came to Poland to share the most personal memories from their childhood and youth. They tell the story of survival – how Horowitz became one of the youngest kids rescued by Oscar Schindler and how Polański after escaping the ghetto hid in the house of a poor peasant family – and a story of a long time friendship going back to the times when they skipped school to go to the movies, developed their first photographs and fell in love with art. They walk through the streets of Cracow’s Kazimierz district and the former ghetto, look into the flats where they spent their early years, and remember those who are no longer alive as well as those who enabled them to survive the Holocaust.
