CORPUS CHRISTI

BOŻE CIAŁO

It is a story of modern Silesia and its people; it is about unemployment, poverty, hopelessness. ‘Silesia is going down the drain. There is no future here’, complains an unemployed man. ‘Silesia is Silesia, I will not let it be taken away from me’, says an older woman with a local accent. ‘The most important thing is to never give up, fuck, never’, blurts out a young boy who wants to become a rapper. All of them will probably meet at the annual Corpus Christi procession.
