SPRINGS HAVE GONE, WINTERS ARE COMING

PRZESZŁY LATA, IDĄ ZIMY

The film is a documentary impression about the relationship of two brothers who live somewhere on a small farm in the deep countryside of Poland. Marian is a retired acrobat while Kazimierz a former serviceman. They fight like cat and dog differing with respect to their past, political views and the approach to history. Nevertheless, the brothers keep standing by each other in peculiar unity. After 40 years of their life together, what they primarily have in common is the time that has passed.
