We live in bubbles – not only information ones, but also with labels sticked on. The job of art, the job of artists, is to cross the dividing lines, to pop the bubbles. The protagonist of the film is Daniel Rycharski, an artist and activist who is different on many levels – he is from the country, is gay and Catholic. The uncompromising Daniel lives and works in the countryside and is committed to spiritual interests and the life of the community. The visually very demanding, unique aesthetics and outstanding acting image was awarded the Golden Lions at the PFF in Gdynia.

Rescuing a drinking father who has just lost his job and a way to survive for his family is to go to Italy for a few months. This is the view of Grandmother Toni, of whom Tonia understands herself completely differently, and she decides to thwart the plan. This is not easy, the girl is only eleven years old, half-orphaned and lives in the Polish province, but she is determined and desperate. The director gave Toni the role of the narrator of the film. She leads the audience joyfully and openly through their world. Bortkiewicz’s second film is a tragicomedy with hope for the future.

What is the strength of a relationship? Is a perfectly matched “other half” given for a lifetime, or do we need superpowers to maintain a relationship? Paolo Genovese tells the story of Anna, an impulsive cartoonist with a nonconformist personality, and Marco, a physics teacher who believes that everything is ruled by some kind of formula. We get to know them when they fall in love with each other as young people with no memory. After the initial conviction that they have a lifelong love, reality with all the emotions, temptations and everyday life says, “OK, I’ll check it.”
