When he finds a group of Jews hiding in the sewers, Leopold agrees to protect them from the Nazis in exchange for money, even though it could mean his death if they are found. Though he is solely motivated by cash at first, their experiences lead Leopold to adopt a different view of the people under his protection. When catastrophe strikes, Leopold is forced into a final act of courage.<br>&#8222;Spoor&#8221; ( directed by Agnieszka Holland and Katarzyna Adamik, 2017 ) is a film based on a novel &#8222;Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead&#8221; by Polish Nobel Prize winner, Olga Tokarczuk. It tells a story of Janina Duszejko, an elderly woman, who lives alone in the Klodzko Valley where a series of mysterious crimes are committed. Duszejko is convinced that she knows who or what is the murderer, but nobody believes her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1983\" src=\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/06\/441387588_754678973502982_2041605360643894366_n-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1983\" srcset=\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/06\/441387588_754678973502982_2041605360643894366_n-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/06\/441387588_754678973502982_2041605360643894366_n-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/06\/441387588_754678973502982_2041605360643894366_n-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/06\/441387588_754678973502982_2041605360643894366_n.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"1979\" src=\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/06\/442464039_754679906836222_6227606487458193673_n-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1979\" srcset=\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/06\/442464039_754679906836222_6227606487458193673_n-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/06\/442464039_754679906836222_6227606487458193673_n-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/06\/442464039_754679906836222_6227606487458193673_n-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/06\/442464039_754679906836222_6227606487458193673_n.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"924\" data-id=\"1982\" src=\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/06\/442496104_754679923502887_3962781667662700978_n-1024x924.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1982\" srcset=\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/06\/442496104_754679923502887_3962781667662700978_n-1024x924.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/06\/442496104_754679923502887_3962781667662700978_n-300x271.jpg 300w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/06\/442496104_754679923502887_3962781667662700978_n-768x693.jpg 768w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/06\/442496104_754679923502887_3962781667662700978_n.jpg 1252w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1980\" src=\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/06\/442472026_754678983502981_1342765793783925448_n-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1980\" srcset=\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/06\/442472026_754678983502981_1342765793783925448_n-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/06\/442472026_754678983502981_1342765793783925448_n-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/06\/442472026_754678983502981_1342765793783925448_n.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Polish Institute in New Delhi in collaboration with the Bhowanipore Film Society, Calcutta, organised a film screening of two Polish films, \u201cIn Darkness\u201d and \u201cSpoor\u201d on 8th &amp; 9th May 2024.

When he finds a group of Jews hiding in the sewers, Leopold agrees to protect them from the Nazis in exchange for money, even though it could mean his death if they are found. Though he is solely motivated by cash at first, their experiences lead Leopold to adopt a different view of the people under his protection. When catastrophe strikes, Leopold is forced into a final act of courage.\"Spoor\" ( directed by Agnieszka Holland and Katarzyna Adamik, 2017 ) is a film based on a novel \"Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead\" by Polish Nobel Prize winner, Olga Tokarczuk. It tells a story of Janina Duszejko, an elderly woman, who lives alone in the Klodzko Valley where a series of mysterious crimes are committed. Duszejko is convinced that she knows who or what is the murderer, but nobody believes her."},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/2024\/06\/05\/in-darkness-and-spoor-screenings-in-kolkata\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/06\/426092601_748693827434830_2922968034848771529_n.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2024\/06\/426092601_748693827434830_2922968034848771529_n.jpg","width":1536,"height":2048},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/2024\/06\/05\/in-darkness-and-spoor-screenings-in-kolkata\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"\u201cIn Darkness\u201d and \u201cSpoor\u201d- screenings in Kolkata"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/#website","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/","name":"Instytut Polski w New Delhi","description":"Instytuty Polskie","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"pl-PL"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/#\/schema\/person\/7de4cd8f7a4148853785bd4be34f7e37","name":"swiecickaa","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/86f9aaa0e0d2990aa00fc825938db258?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/86f9aaa0e0d2990aa00fc825938db258?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"swiecickaa"},"url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/author\/swiecickaa\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1984","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/185"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1984"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1984\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1986,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1984\/revisions\/1986"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1962"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1984"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1984"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
