Sopot'57

Poland1957documentary16'Mistrzowie (2022)

A deep breath of freedom and joy of life after the nightmare of Stalinism. Here's what this unpretentious summer vacation reportage in a popular seaside town is all about. It pictures vacationers at different times of the day, in most frequented Sopot places during the summer: on the beach, pier, promenade, in cafes, holiday homes, beauty salons, on the dance floor at the Grand Hotel. Combined with a commentary by Stefania Grodzieńska, read by Jerzy Wasowski, the scenes take on a humorous, kindly ironic approach.
