LIST DO POLSKI

BE/AT 2015 | Super 8 + HD | 9 min | short documentary

SYNOPSIS
Triggered by the large number of Polish people living in Brussels, I question my identity and write a letter to my Polish alter ego.
"List do Polski / Letter to Poland" is a journey back to childhood – to Poland – and the search for an answer to the question: What would be, if we would have never migrated? Who would I be then?
Looking for an answer I discover my own stereotypes against Poland.
