DESCRIPTION
The script was based on Cezary Harasimowicz’s “Jerzy” and inspired by real event: a group of hooligans pushing a man out of a speeding train. Through family history and ordinary, even plain situations into which the drama is woven, the director shows something deeper – the complexity of the characters, a combination of cowardice and guilt. Robert Więckiewicz, who plays the role of the main protagonist, usually associated with strong and decisive characters, this time creates a character full of doubts, nuances, complexes.
