Poland2018fiction26'Konkurs polski (2018)
Damian Kocur, who has made such award-winning films as „What I Want”, „Nothing New under the Sun” and is known for working with amateur actors, comes back with a new short film. On his own terms, he has tried his hand at historical cinema. It is 1410 and one of the greatest battles of medieval Europe is about to begin. The tensions between the Kingdom of Poland and the Great Teutonic Order have reached an all-time high. A knight and his squire respond to King Jogaila’s call and travel across Poland to arrive at the fields of Grunwald. Humour is intertwined with history, social commentary and the story about Don Quixote and Sancho Pansa.
