Storyline
Set before the first Wold War in part of Poland under Austrain occupation, the story of a young boy in primary school who later grows up to become a rebellious, poetic-minded teen in the same school when the national movement toward liberation is under way. The story of a country where church amd state work together to suppress the human spirit.
Review:
The movie is separated into two main parts – one showing Mikolaj as a preteen and another in which we see him as a teenager on a verge of graduation from high school. The parts are interconnected by the personality of the young lead, which we observe shaping and developing from the very first scene.
