Lowa is motorcycle racing champion: the object of women's desires and the envy of rivals on the track. Cheerful, kind to people, "ordinary", he has fun in life and what he does. But his sly smile conceals daily struggles with fear and the specter of injuries and accidents. It all becomes even more complicated when the beautiful Roma (Jagoda Porębska) stands on his way. Will she compete with his love of speed and of motorcycles? When the sport is not only a crazy, youthful passion, but also an escape from the gray reality, can he find a place for true love in his heart?

Three Russian street kids, who live on their wits in a train station, take off to the countryside hoping to make it across the border to a better life in Poland. They are alternately looking for tenderness and pushing it away because they sense that it is a sign of vulnerability they can ill-afford. Kędzierzawska has the rare ability to take the world of children on its own terms. There is not a false note in this dazzlingly beautiful and emotionally involving story of three kids trying to find their path to a new life. - Adelaide Film Festival

아니엘라는 한때는 아름다웠지만 지금은 흉물스러워진 저택에서 유일한 말동무이자 친구인 충견과 함께 살고 있다. 비록 늙고 외로운 노인일지라도 자존심과 위엄을 잃지 않는 그녀는 이 퇴색한 저택과 많이 닮아 있다. 생의 화려한 순간들은 가고 죽음이 머지않은 그녀의 일상에서 아들이 가끔씩 걸어오는 안부 전화는 유일한 기쁨이자 기다림이다. 반면 자신에게서 아들을 빼앗아간 며느리나 이기적이고 철없는 손녀, 시시때때로 그녀의 정원을 넘나드는 이웃집 음악원 원생들은 그저 성가시기만 하고, 그들 역시 아니엘라를 고집 세고 괴팍한 노인네로만 여긴다. 영화의 각본은 아흔을 넘긴 폴란드 여배우 다누타 샤플라르스카를 위해 쓰여졌으며, 실제로 영화를 이끌어 가는 그녀의 힘은 나이를 초월해 놀랍기 그지없다. 고요하고 아름다운 영상 속에 삶과 죽음에 대한 성찰이 서정시처럼 그려진다.

"I am" tells the story of Kundel, a boy searching for his place in life, his identity. After running away from an orphanage where he is treated as an outcast among outcasts by both his peers and the adults in charge, and being rejected a second time by his alcoholic mother, who had earlier abandoned him, the resolute 11-year-old finds a "home" on a deserted old barge on the outskirts of his hometown. He is still an outcast, but he is an outcast on his own terms, rejecting both patronizing charitable gestures and coercion by local thugs. In the process he makes one true friend, a girl from an affluent family who is also an outcast, despite living in material comfort.
