Bozywerek and its inhabitants

We met very kind family during shooting at Bozywerek, living in a hause adopted from old kindergarten. They invited us into their backyard.
Kindergarten was one of facilities made for workers families.

Thank you Dawid and Bogunia for invitation. We will be happy to visit your neighbourhood again.






And this is Dawid, his wife Bogunia, and 1,5yo Paulinka
