Dreaming of Warsaw

Poland2017fiction17'Konkurs polski (2017)

The protagonists of the film are a father and his son. The man is struggling with basic financial problems and his child has diabetes. They are refugees who leave a closed immigration centre and try their luck or simply look for a quiet place to live in Warsaw. They find a desolate square where they may occupy a trailer, their temporary home. Their appearance, however, triggers the reluctance of the owners and the conflict with Polish neighbours escalates immediately.
