BY STANLEY FOR STANLEY
POLISH TITLE: FILM DLA STASIA
REPRESENTED BY KFF
Can a film become a vehicle for empathy? Stanisław is a painter and co-author of the film message addressed to Staś, several dozen years his junior. The intimately shot scenes are not only a testimony to unique understanding between the people afflicted with a similar disability, but also a lesson about the most common everyday matters: what to wear or how to react to intolerance towards people with disabilities.
