The true story of a mother's love for her daughter, inscribed in the history of the end of the Second World War and its aftermath, told by a grandson, in whose life its elements echo. The story of Tomasz Laczny's grandmother is a story about losing identity, family and country in the face of traumatic historic events. It represents the situation of many people and nations finding themselves struggling with finding their own identity after the war in the shadow of Nazism. Ironically, the story of the photographer's grandmother unfolds some similarities with his own. Living abroad for many years, Laczny experienced disconnection and isolation and struggled with finding his new identity; there is also the story of the absence of his daughter, whom he had not seen for almost three years. As Andrzej Klimowski (Royal College of Art) writes: 'A treasure that one wishes to hold onto and often revisit, with the promise of discovering something new. It is a unique visual poem, a graphic novel and a work of art.' The book was awarded the 2020 BUP Book Award and was shortlisted for Photo España's Best Photography Book of the Year.
