Betty O'Neil grew up during the 1950s in country NSW with her single mother, Nora. Because Nora worked in hotels, in life-in positions - Betty was often in foster care with local families. Betty didn't know her father as a child; Antoni deserted Nora before Betty was born. Decades later Nora travels to Lublin in Poland to found out about him and his role in the Polish resistance and his time in concentration camps.
