BRACIA<\/strong>\u00a0(PL, 2015, 68 min)
This film tells the story of two brothers, Alfons and Mieczys\u0142aw KU\u0141AKOWSKI, who are as bound by their family ties as they are by fate: deported to Siberia, escapees from the gulag and residents of Kazakhstan, Alfons the painter and Mieczys\u0142aw the catrographer have always lived together; after travelling from one end of the USSR to the other, they return to a capitalist Poland which they don\u2019t really know and set up home in a small village in the north of the country. One man paints, the other supports him; one man fights against old age, whilst the other gives in to it; one man is a pragmatist, the other a dreamer. They are so different and yet so similar. It is precisely this that director Wojciech STARO\u0143 has captured so perfectly (he filmed the two brothers over a seven-year period). In order to explore the lives of his two heroes, he also didn\u2019t hesitate to add archive footage filmed years ago by Mieczys\u0142aw.<\/p>\n
