Balony

Directed by Jakub Michnikowski

A family lives in a small village in the middle of nowhere. The father (Maniek) runs away from growing financial problems. He believes that trying to break the absurd world record could solve them. His wife (Miłka) carries the burden of everyday life on her shoulders. Maniek, who cannot express his feelings in words, focuses his attention on beloved pig. The increasing stress overwhelms parents, and this affects the children. Only a strong event can bring about change. When the illusion bursts like a balloon, it turns out that beyond male ambitions there is something much more important: the need for feelings and true closeness.
