The story of siblings growing up in the orphanage due to their mother's political commitment and detention.

11-year-old Werka and her 9-year-old brother Marcel wind up at the front door of a children’s home in Wrocław.  Asked who they are, Werka replies, “We are children of communists.” In return the teacher yells, ”Why do they only send us Judeo-communists?!!!” It is 1949. Werka and Marcel’s mother, a pre-war communist, is arrested and charged with collaborating with American intelligence. She will do five and half years. Her children will spend these years in children’s homes.
