Ends and Beginnings

Poland2024fiction17'Konkurs polski (2024)

This year was not easy for strawberries. It snowed in early April. Strawberries went into full bloom on the 21 st . The first fruit was eaten by a snail, the second by Adam and the third appeared at the same time as hundreds of others. The rest belongs to the past where the protagonists are not Piotr and Paweł, although it is thanks to their intervention that Julia’s first kiss has an exceptionally sweet taste. Light-hearted ‘Ends and Beginnings’ allows viewers to get lost in the maze of human biographies that coincide in the least expected circumstances. Someone, not for the first time, mistakes days, another person always has a getaway plan, and someone else suspects they are allergic to strawberries. The lady from the university is ruthless. Who knows, maybe Robert Altman himself would fall in love with this story, even though a strawberry field is not Gosford Park? Or, maybe, the authors were more inspired by Jerzy Skolimowski?
