LARP

( LARP. Miłość, trolle i inne questy)

Sergiusz, a teenager at a technical high school, is misunderstood by his family and bullied by his peers because of his passion for fantasy and LARP (live action role-playing) games. In the incredible world of imagination and adventures full of magic and swords, he’s a true hero : masculine, brave, invincible. In the real world – not so much. The situation gets even more complicated when a new student joins his class, the beautiful Helena, whom he falls in love with at first sight. Unfortunately, the girl starts hanging out with a group of popular students. Sergiusz feels that, up against the school trolls, he has little chance of winning Helena’s heart. Everything changes when he unexpectedly discovers the teenage girl’s secret, and a famous bestselling author arrives in town.

Martyna Byczkowska will attend the screening on October 25, 4pm

(Brat)

“Brother” is a moving story about a woman and a family put to the test in a world of violence, unfulfilled ambitions, and mounting chaos. Fourteen-year-old Dawid takes care of his younger brother and tries to live up to his mother’s expectations as she tries to break free from a toxic past and start over, without her husband, who is behind bars. Although the boy has talent and strength, it becomes increasingly difficult for him to stay in control amid a daily life stretched between school, home, and the street. Everything becomes even more complicated when Konrad enters their lives, the only adult Dawid truly trusts. But this is only the beginning of turbulent events that could ultimately tear this family apart… or save it.
