HERMITS

PUSTELNICY

Marian left his family and became a hermit. His choice of a hermitage place was quite unexpected: a makeshift hut near a village and a busy road. Grzegorz was thrown out of a monastery and decided to do the same. He moved in next to Marian claiming that it is easier to lead a lonely life if there are two of them. The absurd situation has been going on for many years – and both protagonists have been in conflict all the time.
