THE MOON IS JEWISH
POLISH TITLE: KSIĘŻYC TO ŻYD
A subculture of football fans and Judaism – can anyone imagine a stronger antagonism? Paweł, a former skinhead, used to build his identity on hatred. Yet several years ago he underwent a spiritual transformation and became an Orthodox Jew. This surprising document, whose absurd title was borrowed from Marcin Świetlicki’s lyrics, proves that ideological divisions may be very artificial and our life so unpredictable that it may take a completely different turn.
