Neighborhooders

Inhabitants of a derelict living quarter in Lódz struggle with poverty, lack of prospects, contempt and oblivion. Ogrodowa Street in Lódz - just opposite a crowded shopping center, a state-of-the-art museum and a posh hotel - is where some of the city's poorest live, completely forgotten by the world. A heart-warming and funny portrait of people excluded from the mainstream of social life; people who might be more capable of sacrifice and love than those who pushed them to the sidelines of society. —Polish Film Institute
