Podlaski is a tangle of strange stories of a group of friends. A bit magical, a bit dark - as it is in the borderland. Kaśka fell in love with this place. Together with her brother, they bought some of the surrounding meadows. She searched for a log house in the entire Suwałki region and found a suitable one in a neighbouring village. One hundred years old. For many years, the homestead in Podlaski has nurtured many young and old souls. Some of them have put up houses and cottages here and stayed. Or they return to the meadows every year for holidays. For the past few years, Monika has been helping Kasia to civilise Podlaski and return the house to its guests slowly. But still, like the whole of Suwałki, it is an untamed place: you can get lost in the grass on the border strip, stumble into nettles or come across a lazy hare. In addition to Podlaski, Kasia and Monika run a café with speciality coffee in Warsaw's Ochota district.
