Affecting and episodic, Zamecka’s début is about Marek Kaczanowski and his two adolescents. Ola, an extraordinary 14-year-old parents her autistic brother, Nikodem.
Mostly set in their welfare apartment, the use of fixed lenses enables a remarkable intimacy; shunning a didactic narrative, and allowing the storyline to unfold through dialogue and acute observation. Masterful editing adds to the unhurried pace and fiction-like unravelling of character. Less a portrait of family dysfunction than an essay in familial tenderness and endurance.
