I Didn't Know I Was Polish

In the city of light, the truth quickly comes into focus.
Kaitlyn has spent the past two years soaking in the magic of Paris - but time is running out. A twist of fate reveals that her grandfather might be the key to extending her stay. As Kaitlyn uncovers an almost-forgotten piece of her familys history, she learns that borders and identity are not what she had imagined. Will her newfound heritage provide the answers, or is true belonging deeper than native soil?
This Offie-nominated show blends fast-paced comedy with gut-wrenching revelations about borders, self-worth, and what it means to come from somewhere youve never been.
