Poland2025fiction30'Short Film CompetitionNational Competition
Maria is raising her teenage son alone. Kostek is brusque, keeps staring at his phone and sitting locked in his room or hangs out with his friends at the skate park or beach. He completely ignores his mother’s clumsy attempts to make contact. The two seem to have missed a chance to find an understanding long ago. However, one day, Maria finds a way to reach her son, but the mystification and lies she decides to use will cost her dearly. 18+
