Plot synopsis
In the past, they came here to walk their dogs, play with children or run. Now they are on opposite sides of the fences and are fighting fiercely for a piece of the park. Every Sunday, some come here to pray in front of a wooden cross, others to defend the park "Torfianka" so that it remains a public space. Who could have imagined such opposition in a country that has been secular and even atheist for many decades.
