The film not only evokes the Polish-Vietnamese cultural clash but also a journey to unravel the “social chaos”, where painful questions force us to face and take responsibility for ourselves. Invisible losses, once they have occurred, can never be recovered.

“Blacksheep” by director Aleksander Pietrzak explores the seemingly perfect family picture of Magda and Arek after 25 years of living together.

Beneath the apparent stability lies a simmering web of conflict: Magda, a Catholic high school teacher, hides her attraction to women; Arek is long-term unemployed; and their son, Tomek, is a famous but irresponsible YouTuber.

The family situation becomes chaotic when Magda follows her heart, Asia breaks up with Tomek, her grandfather suddenly disappears, and Arek tries to rebuild his life. The long-accumulated conflicts explode, forcing each character to find their own way to reach happiness.

“Feast of Fire” by director Kinga Dębska tells a touching story through the perspective of Nastka, a 20-year-old girl with cerebral palsy.

From her small window, Nastka observes the world unfolding beyond the reach of her disabled body. The story unfolds between her devoted father, still grieving the loss of his wife, and her sister Łucja, an ambitious ballerina, jealous and traumatized by her career injury.

The eccentric yet warm-hearted neighbor Józefina becomes the key to helping each family member find their lost connection. Thanks to Józefina, Nastka passes his final exams, Poldek learns to heal from the past, and the family finds common ground after years of silence.

“Pianoforte” (Pianoforte) by director Jakub Piątek takes the audience behind the scenes of the Chopin International Piano Competition - a prestigious musical event held every five years in Warsaw.

The film chronicles the journey of talented young artists in a highly competitive atmosphere, where emotions soar, bitter failures and inner dialogues constantly take place. Not only reflecting the world of classical music, the film is also a story of maturity of young people facing passion and pressure.

“Kulej - After the Glory” (Kulej. All that glitters isn't gold) directed by Xawery Zulawski recreates the life of Polish boxing legend Jerzy Kulej and his wife Helena in the years 1964-1968.

Jerzy is a two-time European champion, eight-time national champion and the only Polish boxer to win two Olympic gold medals. In the ring he is invincible, but real life is full of challenges that have knocked him down many times. The film is not only about a champion, but also about the survival of a marriage in the face of fame.

Director Adrian Apanel's "Horry Story" is a satirical film about the modern job market.

The main character Tomek - a new graduate student with ambitions to get a position in a large corporation to win back his ex-lover. He rents a cheap room that looks like a "haunted house".

But as time goes by, Tomek realizes that the real horror lies not in the house or its strange inhabitants, but in the intense and ruthless job hunting outside. Sometimes, the greatest fear is not what you see, but what you face in real life.

“Off We Go” (Off We Go) directed by Mariusz Kuczewski is a humorous and touching story about an elderly couple, Józiek and Ela. Despite their son’s objections, they decide to travel around Poland on the “legendary” Nysa that they have just… stolen from their family. The trip is like an adventure filled with laughter, love and unexpected moments.
