\u201eUrban Cowboys\u201d<\/strong>, dir. Pawe\u0142 Ziemilski, Wajda School, PL 2016, 29:02<\/p>\n

Can a horse save a life? In Clondalkin (Dublin) that\u2019s exactly the case. In a district where there is a lot of problems and not a lot of prospects, young people face drugs, prison and the path of crime. But some of them manage to escape into an unusual hobby. They tame wild horses and become...urban cowboys.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201eEducation\u201d<\/strong>, dir. Emi Buchwald, Lodz Film School, PL 2016, 19:39<\/p>\n

In one elementary school children are told to learn Julian Tuwim\u2019s poem \u201cEducation\u201d by heart as homework. The poetic phrase is sometimes incomprehensible, some words require explanation, but parents come to their aid. Unfortunately, not all metaphors can be explained in an unambiguous way and poetry clashes with the prose of life.<\/p>\n
