Once filled with Jewish life, the Muranów neighbourhood in Warsaw found itself cordoned off the during the Second World War by the German occupiers. Thousands of people were crammed into the ghetto and subsequently murdered. Today's residents of the now rebuilt district share their apartments with the souls of these very people. A psychological reflection on living with the ghosts of a bloody past.

"After the war, machines turned the debris into dough from which bricks were made, that in turn, were used to build the new houses. The new tragedy is that no one bothered to tell the excited residents –who found a home for themselves after the war – what was buried underground and what materials were used to build their houses." (Chen Shelach)
