Thieves with hearts of gold. Ex-cons with souls full of artistry and music. Families trying to live a normal life. In an average town from behind the curtain, welcome to the Zakaczawie - called by the locals "The Miracle District", where the poverty mingles with pride painting a picture full of bitter charm. This body of work aims to show the district's contemporary portrait, with both its colorful appeal and post-communist decay, and discover how much of its old legend is still alive. The author spent two years between inhabitants of Zakaczawie to go deep beyond the grim appearances.
