Poland2022documentary70'Konkurs polski (2022)

A legendary Polish driver returns to take part in one of the most difficult car races in the world. The film crew accompanies Sobiesław Zasada during his preparations for the race in Poland and during the race in African wilderness. Picturesque images of Kenyan nature are intertwined with dynamic shots from the inside of the car, while noisy cheering of fans on the road sides overlaps with instructions shouted out by the pilot. Will the car packed with electronics and impressive experience help the driver to stand on the podium once again? Even now, almost centenarian, he seems to resist the passage of time.
