WE WILL BE HAPPY ONE DAY

KIEDYŚ BĘDZIEMY SZCZĘŚLIWI

„We will be happy one day“ is a documentary film about Daniel, a young man from Lipiny – the poorest town in the southern Poland. Daniel wants out of the omnipresent misery. With a mobile phone camera in his hand he wanders round his neighbourhood asking kids and grownups questions about their dreams. Are they going to come true, at least, for some? However, in the process of Daniel’s filming there emerges a hidden layer: the love between him and his charismatic grandmother. But will he ever manage to complete his film?
