2022 · 24 min

A quiet, somber character study that lingers on a man's fragile hope for redemption, offering a slow, emotionally weighty watch.

Overview: Jaśliska, a village in Podkarpacie. Wróbel, a middle-aged man, destroyed his relationship with his wife and 12-year-old son, falling into deepening alcoholism. The arrival of the film crew, shooting in a small town, and the proposal to play an episode in the film, becomes a chance for a man to overcome the crisis and regain his family.
