The River

Running time: 10'50"

Production: PL 2016

Just like the memorable Alice in Wonderland from Lewis Carrol’s classic, seven-year-old Nelly paces the Polish land right by the river Bug. For Nelly, the landscape of this uncanny borderland river becomes an unforgettable place of play and numerous new experiences. One day an incredibly important and “adult” question is born in the girl’s mind: what is freedom, what does it mean, and what are its boundaries? The key to the answer is held by her little two-year-old brother.
