The dialogue Timaeus by Plato remarks that we should direct our thoughts towards the realm of the eternal stars, and that our spirit is not at home here, on Earth. Its true homeland is the heavens: '(...) we are a plant not of an earthly but of a heavenly growth'. Is it possible to live differently than on Earth? Fantasies of celestial cities were pursued by Jonathan Swift, Georgiy Krutikov, and Wenzel Hablik. Subsequently, the era of space flights led to dreams of discovering a Promised Land in the universe. The Stanford Torus inter-stellar colony conceived by NASA inspired Jaroslaw Kozakiewicz, the author of Satopticon, which instead of being a New Atlantis turns out to be a penal colony.

'Cornershop, 360 degrees' - is an ironic, and sometimes bitter, story of life on an estate, at the centre of which there is the cornershop. This animation by the director Andrzej Baranski and the painter, Edward Dwurnik, is based on a short story by Krzysztof Jaworski. The cornershop is the centre of the world for the people of the estate; this is where the chavs as well as adults congregate to have a drink and a cigarette. The cornershop is a source of pride which integrates the local community. Baranski and Dwurnik create a sociological record of the last decades of Polish society. They show those, for whom there is neither place nor future in the post transformation society
