We admire beauty; we recoil from bodies that are marred, disfigured, different. Didier Cros’ moving, intimate film forces us to question what underlies our notions of beauty as we join a talented photographer taking stunning portraits of several people with profound visible scars which have dictated certain elements of their lives but have not come to define their humanity. The subjects' perceptions of themselves are dynamic, unexpected, and even heartwarming. This is an unforgettable journey to be shared with the world.
Judith and Robert wonder about the apartment which separates them. It was Vino's, who died last year, the simpleton of the district. Without knowing it, they are going to dive into the intimacy of their former neighbour, without imagining what waits for them.

The story follows regular inhabitants of HERE, Newton (Maciej Stuhr) and his beloved Natalia (Joanna Kolaczkowska).
What is exclusion really like? A look, a comment, the lack of likes, a birthday party to which you weren't invited, a clique that didn't include you: bullying is often invisible. Far too many kids and teens experience it every day. When Arin is welcomed into a group of popular girls, her best friend Oda is left increasingly isolated. By showing both perspectives, the excluded and the excluders, kids will be able to relate to similar situations and see how they are amplified by social media.
