Black and white photographs, amateurs in leading parts and the small realism of Poland’s provinces in the era of the refugee crisis. Paweł is a single man who works on a small river ferry. Hardly anyone visits him and he spends each day doing the same things until he meets Mohammad, an illegal immigrant. Paweł decides to help him. Finally, there is someone he can talk to. This is yet another film by Damian Kocur, an artist known for his work with non-professional actors, who is a frequent guest in Krakow. Selected at Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival
