FATHER AND SON ON A JOURNEY

OJCIEC I SYN W PODRÓŻY

This experiment made by two directors, Marcel and Paweł Łoziński, has been edited by the father. In the conversations with his son during a car journey Marcel Łoziński reminisces about his painful childhood, the tragic death of his mother and his own choices that had also a significant impact on Paweł’s life. The journey they made together and captured by the camera is an opportunity to confront the memories and different views of the father and the son.
