EducationEmi Buchwald

In a Polish elementary school the children have to memorize a poem of the national celebrity Julian Tuwin. A miniature life lesson disguised as homework.

The phrasing of the poem is a real brain-teaser and the children are faced with the limits of their vocabulary. The parents come to the rescue, but even they don’t have a satisfying answer for every question. Slowly but surely, it dawns on the children that the beauty of poetry can clash with the prose of life, especially when the TV broadcasts an important football match.

 

The short film will be screened before the feature film Dreaming Murakami.
