SLEEP-WALKERS

LUNATYCY

Real love is more precious than all hair on your head. Hairdresser Rafał cannot accept the breakdown of his relationship with Kama. He still lives with her parents – a neurotic, constantly pacing former secret police officer and his wife who incessantly fights with a rat in the kitchen. One day Majka comes to Rafał’s hair-dressing salon and turns his life upside down.
The film was produced as the part of „30 minutes” Programme – held by Andrzej Wajda Master School of Film Directing, the Andrzej Munk Studio “The Young and Film” within Polish Filmmakers Association, Polish Film Institute, Polish Television.
