Angel in Love

Jegomość Tischner i jego filozofia po góralsku

Zdjęcie

A hidden photograph found by Adam, in which his pregnant mother embraces a strange man, makes the 16-year-old suspect that his father may not be his biological parent. Adam runs away from home to find out the truth. He not only solves his mystery, but also finds a friend in the person of Przemek, who is two years older, and meets his first love, which may destroy that friendship.

Strawberry Wine

This is not a love story though it is full of love. It is not a comedy though the characters often say funny things. It is not a detective story even though the hero is trying to solve a murder. It is not a nature drama though it shows the splendid colours and customs of the countryside. It is not a musical though Lubica expresses her longing in a passionate dance. Nor is it a film about ghosts though a ghost does ask the hero for a favour. A few draughts of Strawberry Wine are enough to take us into a magical world in the true centre of Europe, where love, crime and penitence are just as much a part of life as the changing of the seasons, the migration of birds or the flowing of a mountain stream.
