Plot

The series follow the story of four friends who met in high school. Their paths then diverged. They meet again years later at a class meeting and realise that they need each other like they never did before. The action happens in Warsaw.

Production

The pilot episode was filmed in April 2012. Then it was watched by a group of people similar to the profile of the typical Polsat's viewer. The study found that people are willing to come back to it after an advertising break. A positive test result was reflected in the 13 episodes that filmed from July to September 2012.
