S1 E1 - To Warsaw

After graduating, Ania and Roman Miłobędzcy moved to the Beskid Mountains to fulfill their youthful dreams. It was here that their children were born. After a dozen or so years of farming in the Beskid meadows, they were close to bankruptcy. They took advantage of a proposal from businessman Bury and traded their Beskid farm for a villa in a town near Warsaw. Their children, Ola, Janek, and Zuza, were deeply affected by the move. The family's hopes were mixed with sadness. The parents' plan proved a disaster. Instead of a villa, they found a dilapidated wooden house, inhabited, moreover, by the quirky and eccentric Franciszek Alba. It quickly became clear that the Miłobędzcy family had fallen victim to a fraud.
