WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CHILDREN DON’T EAT SOUP

CO SIĘ DZIEJE, GDY DZIECI NIE CHCĄ JEŚĆ ZUPY

Two siblings watched by their grandfather sit at the table and struggles to finish their soup. The children don’t want to eat, they scoop the soup up reluctantly, looking for a possible way to break free from the table. When the door opens, and the bright light hits the room, the children run out and find themselves in a completely different reality. Here,  on empty streets of the nameless city the mystery is being hidden and every single step made unfolds a nightmarish landscape. With the application of solid genre structures and motives Prewencki tells a modern story of crime and punishment. In the end will the children be able to escape the labyrinth of new meanings and evade the consequences of their misbehaviour?
