I missed this one at Polish Film Festival in Chicago couple weeks ago but it got recommended by few people that i talked to.. So i managed to get a copy Absolutely amazing film. The story is well written, very good acting.. I don't want to spoil the movie but the ending completely broke my heart. This is the most adorable and touching movie, i've seen this year. It might be a little more difficult to understand the main message if you don't understand the situation in Poland...
Highly recommended !!!
