Cataract

Poland2023documentary16'Konkurs polski (2023)

How much do you need to be happy? Three different characters from three different communities share their experiences of sadness, loss and unfulfillment . They speak about what shaped them and which events had the greatest impact on their current lives. Reflexive monologues about longing for happiness and love are accompanied by the images of the world surrounding the characters, which capture the everyday lives of the women. This poignant reflection on individual choices makes an introduction to a more universal story about the passing of time and a search for sense when one thinks that nothing more will happen in one’s life.
