When Dawid meets Bartek again on his return to his village after years, affection quickly develops between them, following the desire that Bartek had suppressed for years. Their lives are like two sides of the same coin. Both raised by alcoholic parents, Bartek stayed and adapted while Dawid escaped. Krawczycki paints the portrait of both characters with subtle touches, creating a beautifully told story of love and self-discovery. The heartfelt feature debut, partly inspired by the filmmaker's biography, is also a story of great courage. One that gradually develops despite prejudices and addictions.

Age rating: from 12 years
