Dramas
Poland2017documentary76'Polska panorama (2017)
A portrait of a former prisoner who spent 14 years in prison for attempted murder. The director accompanies Daniel in the most important moments of his life – christening, work, family meetings. The spectator slowly discovers each of the “dramas” from his past as well as those that have affected him already when at large. But the film is also some kind of a video-diary that Daniels records himself as a way of absolution.
