Maciej Pieprzyca (1964), film director and screenwriter with professional and emotional ties to Silesia, winner of many awards at Polish and international festivals. Pieprzyca’s second full-length film is characterised by artistic maturity and modesty which has helped him win over both audience and critics. By choosing a simple form, the director keeps a low profile, putting the spotlight on the protagonists, with their truth and emotions. The film takes turns moving the audience to tears and amusing the viewers, cleverly avoiding melodrama at the same time.
