Five identical brothers embark on a life-long struggle for personal independence from one another.

A story of five identical brothers searching for personal self-expression. Born in Communist Poland to an American mother, the brothers struggle to develop their unique traits and personalities. Escaping the economic uncertainty of Poland in the 1980s, the family relocates to the United States. Nearing adulthood, all five brothers pursue different identity-defining goals: art, music, sports, farming and commerce. In time, driven by nostalgia and business opportunities, four of them return to Poland. The fifth brother stays close to the mother, whose health is deteriorating. Now in their middle-age, the quintuplets must decide if maintaining their unique identities is worth the price of shattering their family ties.
