Andrzej Jakimowski

A blind teacher breaks the rules to help a female student rediscover the pleasures of life.

Mareczek takes Mamusia from a little allotment house in the outskirts where she has been spending the nights recently. It’s too cold for her to stay there. They set out to the city together with Koleś, a stray dog. They had both lost their flat due to the brutal policy of the city authorities and now they keep going from one shelter to the next. Although the dog is a burden in these circumstances, Mamusia doesn’t want to part with it. The woman makes herself comfortable in a squat where she and Mareczek witness the brutal attempt at burning down the building together with its inhabitants made by fascist militia who had left the Independence March on 11th November a moment earlier. The filmmakers used documentary material of true street incidents.

The story of a spirited ten-year-old girl who has run away from her proudly affluent parents in town and finds grudging refuge with the slightly slovenly caretaker of an abandoned farm, an ex-teacher.

A few days in the life of a tenement building in downtown Warsaw. Everyday scenes—some captured by a hidden camera—unfold simultaneously in the courtyard, in the tenants’ apartments, as well as in offices and businesses, including a lawmaker’s office, a beauty salon, and an escort agency. The lives of people from different generations and sometimes vastly different professions intertwine; the building at 32 Wilcza Street resembles a single organism, living by its own unique rhythm. Every day, events blend with memories, and tragic episodes with genuine comedy.

A street in downtown Warsaw transforms into a kaleidoscopic portrait of Polish society. Behind the viewfinder is an Indian immigrant, who seeks to overcome the boundaries between himself and an anxiety-ridden country.

Six-year-old Stefek challenges fate. He believes that setting a chain of events in motion will help him get closer to his father who left his mother. His sister helps him bribe fate with small sacrifices, but things go wrong and then Stefek tries a very risky trick.
