One day you will learn to draw, one day you will have an expensive car, one day you will achieve success - the list of expectations of a father towards his son makes the young boy unable to enjoy everyday life.

Winter

A cat lover, Jesus leaving the cross and Christmas carollers holding pitchforks are set against a snowy and icy scenery. ‘Zima’, a psychodelic journey to a small fishing village, collects as if in a lens the behaviour, customs and vices of the Polish provinces. In this small community, different views, the behaviour of people and animals and their mutual relations clash like ice floes on a lake. Maintained in the convention of magic realism, this animation is like a horror playing out to the accompaniment of barking dogs and a punk metal music score.

Insect

Pascal lives with his parents in a city full of smog. So many missteps and accidents happen in a dense fog. The obscure smog can easily hide people's secrets and infamous... insects. The discovery of one of these mysteries change Pascal's life forever.

Colaholic

Marcin, who is 26, is a colaholic. The fizzy beverage accompanied him during his play as a child, when doing homework and at school breaks. Quite imperceptibly, drinking Coca-Cola became as natural for him as having lunch or going out for a walk.
