Dawn. The black figures appearing in the brushwood. They seem to be working. Warsaw on the other side of the Vistula river unfolds itself. In Warsaw, the city of dynamic growth and development, could modernity be still confronted with life resembling these from the 19th century? Sky scrapers but some meters farther people who never have used a lift?
