An exceptional documentary film, made during a world lockdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Reporters from the investigative program “Superwizjer”, using their international journalistic contacts, decided to introduce people whose lives were changed in a specific way by the spread of the infection. The stories presented in the film come from China, Italy, Great Britain, USA, Ecuador and India. The authors of the documentary have accessed many unique materials and photographs, some of which are drastic and show the unknown so far dimension of the pandemic. The film gathers professionally shot pictures showing the characters, news agency reports and videos captured with mobile phones or digital and handheld cameras by eyewitnesses of the pandemic together with opinions of experts such as virologist, anthropologist, journalist as well as human rights activist.
