ON THE ROAD

W DRODZE

A record of journey by car through Poland; on the way the director-driver gives a lift to random hitchhikers. As the landscape and seasons of the year are changing outside of the window, the passengers are changing inside the car. Each of them has his or her own story – some of them are more effusive, others prefer to be mysterious. Thanks to the protagonists, who reveal their joys, sorrows, reflections, this road documentary is a symbolic picture of the contemporary Poland seen through the eyes of its citizens.
