Nothing New Under the Sun
Poland2017fiction25'Konkurs polski (2017)
Michał’s (Michał Romanowicz) life is nothing but routine. Work on a cattle farm, instant soup for lunch, peers from the village with whom he cannot find a common language – all this deprives him of the joy of life. The only chance for change is a girl whom he met online. She lives in the Netherlands and is about to come to Poland, even though the man does not seem to know too much about her. “When she comes, everything will be somehow sorted out”, says Michał.
