Haven

Nastya and Ira are staying at a temporary accommodation center for refugees in the seaside town Gdynia, north of Poland. The haven in Gdynia for them becomes not only a refuge but also a time for reflection. It prompts them to ponder whether people are the smiths of their own fate or whether they are subject to unpredictable events over which they have no control.
