The passage of time during the pandemic has grown to become my character. The world froze, together with the camera on my balcony. I’m watching a shard of the world in a frame and a unique slice of time we have all found ourselves in. I listen intently to abrupt silence. But life that has slowed down continues under my balcony. New characters are moving along like on the stage. I’m asking people questions I cannot answer myself - what will come next?

Relationships with the people you love most are often the most complicated. This is the problem Hania and her mother Ewa face during their sessions with a psychotherapist, filmed intimately and with the utmost respect by director Paweł Łoziński. The camera always focuses on one person at a time, revealing every emotion hidden behind the words and silences. The empathetic therapist carefully but purposefully peels away the hard layers under which mother and daughter shield themselves. Little by little, the personal tragedies that hamper their communication rise to the surface, as well as the source of the longing for love and acknowledgement that they find so hard to fulfill.

Father and Son on a Journey

Father and Son on a Journey

Paweł Łoziński’s documentary is a short, metaphoric story, undertaking a problem of memory, identity, searching for traces of the recent past. Here, on thirty hectares in the city centre, the inventory is being made – it is to lead to reconstruction of a lost city. The camera focuses on details, showing fingers touching an obliterated inscription or a laborious process of decoding letters excavated from the ground, because each of them means something.

En el hospital de día de la clínica oncológica de Varsovia todo el mundo charla. Conversar parece parte del tratamiento, hablar con el vecino de la cama de al lado parte de la medicación prescrita. Hombres, mujeres, ancianos y niños intercambian remedios naturales mientras comparten preocupaciones y se dan consejos. Un padre quiere vivir suficiente como para ver la tesis de su hijo acabada, otro espera asistir a una boda con ilusión, una madre embarazada piensa en cómo será conocer a su hijo. Hablan de sus miedos, sus remordimientos y de las mentiras que explican a los más cercanos para que sufran menos. Momentos ordinarios se magnifican en primeros planos: una sonrisa, una lágrima, una mirada de ilusión. Para algunos, éstas serán sus últimas charlas. Para otros, pasarán a ser el recuerdo más amable de aquella época de hospital y enfermedad.

There are elegant ladies as well as poor pensioners among them. Burdened with shopping bags, day and night, regardless of the weather and time of the year, they visit parks, cemeteries and secluded places. These are ‘cat ladies’, considered as weirdos by some and angels of good by others. Maybe these women feeding homeless cats are trying to fill an empty space in their lives or satisfy their maternal instincts. Before the camera they philosophize, sing old songs and tell stories of love, fear and lost opportunities. One character argues with her husband with whom she shares nothing but a love of cats. They all speak of their pets with fondness and affection and have a name for each of them. Łoziński has managed to paint a portrait of women who have found an aim at the end of their lives.

Poles forcibly displaced from the eastern lands after 1945 tell about their experiences, recall that difficult period when they had to leave their homes, leave all their possessions, neighbors.

They're trying to make a whole out of memory chips.

For Paweł łoziński, the population census becomes an excuse to show a fragment of the Polish countryside. The camera's filling in for the census clerk. We visited several farms in one of the small villages. We ask questions that are not in the census form, about the meaning of life, dreams, needs.
