Men’s stories as part of the documentary series “Somewhere in Europe. Boys do cry \u201dof the 60th jubilee Krakow Film Festival.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What is the life of men in closed hermetic communities look like? Is it easy to be a modern Don Quixote? Does the midlife crisis really exist and does the modern guy have the right to be weak? The documentary films of this year’s non-competition section of the Krakow Film Festival – Somewhere in Europe – will try to answer these and several other questions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the \u201cWorld Stories” section has been entirely dedicated to women and stories about problems that the modern world presents to them. On the other hand, the films selected for the “Somewhere in Europe” series focused on male stories from various parts of the Old Continent in a completely natural way. We are curious if viewers will find their own reflections in these pictures – <\/em>says Barbara Orlicz-Szczypu\u0142a, Head of the Program Department of the Krakow Film Festival.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where could the\nhappiest men in Europe live? Of course in Finland. Is this really the\ncase? The director of the film “The\nHappiest Man In The World”<\/strong> Joonas\nBerghall (co-creator of the famous “Steam Of Life”),\ndrawing on his own experiences and also showing the fate of several\nother Finns, seems to present a wider social picture. School\ntroubles, trauma of the military service, struggle for childcare,\nburnout, addictions, and finally the risk of premature death caused\nby health problems are just motives for the emotional stories of love\nand empathy that are necessary for us to live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the opposite end\nof Europe, on the shores of the Aegean Sea lies the extraordinary\nRepublic of Monks – Athos. Its inhabitants live in harsh conditions,\noften in isolation. They are engaged in agriculture, trade and\nfishing. They also take care of their vast monasteries using\ntraditional crafts. The film “Where\nAre You, Adam?”<\/strong> is a fascinating\nstory of a completely unprecedented way of life in the thriving\nmonastic community of the peninsula, which women cannot approach\nwithin less than 500 m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
