THE LAST DAY OF SUMMER

KONIEC LATA

The film is a poetic, emotional journey to the times of our childhood and a story about difficulties of entering the world of adults. We want to take a closer look at the relations between peers, between children and adults (teachers, parents) to see the stages of growing up. We will observe the process from 7 year old kid who learns how to read to a 17 year old graduate who has to decide about his future. In 50 minutes we will see 10 years from the period in which so many changes occur and in which our personality develops.
