SPARK

‘I hadn’t imagined what it’s like to have a child with Down’s syndrome, or how one can be part of such a family,’ says Monika, one of the film’s protagonists and a member of Iskierka – an association helping children with Down’s syndrome in Szczecin. The name Iskierka, which means ‘spark’ in Polish, symbolises a fervent hope that what is often perceived as a disaster can be turned into life’s greatest joy.
