Would you risk everything to be home again?
Poland, 1935. When Syma - a young, outspoken physician decides to leave home and embark on an adventure in a strange land, she cannot imagine the powerful emotional whirlpool she'll find herself in.
When the conflict between the lure of bourgeois Europe and a new life with a promising love affair leaves her heartbroken, Syma makes the decision to leave everything behind, and sails back home, to Poland.
A moment's choice which seals her fate.
November 1942. In the midst of a harsh Polish winter, Syma stands waiting at the railway station, on the same platform she was so familiar with in her previous life, a bygone reality.
Underneath a Changing Sky tells the heart wrenching story of an independent woman, who chose to live her own truth at a time when bigotry and hate were rising all around her. Even at the risk of her own life.
