SOMETIMES I DREAM I'M FLYING
POLISH TITLE: CZASEM ŚNIĘ, ŻE LATAM
A spectacular, poetic series of black and white photos of horse races is a starting point, a kind of prologue for the moving story of Weronika, a talented and very ambitious ballet dancer. Her ballet career and education, including ups and downs, make a documentary treaty on beauty and its fragility. The most important elements of this sophisticated picture are emotions and the message.
The film is also available in a 70-minute cinema version.
