Tricks

A Comedy by Andrzej Jakimowski with Damien Ul, Ewelina Walendziak and Tomasz Sapryk. Duration: 1 h 34.
Stefek, 10, spends his holidays with his mother, owner of the local grocery shop, and his 17-year-old sister. Having nothing to do, he comes frequently to the train station, where he spots an unknown man. He imagines that it is his father, who left long time ago, and decides to bring him back home.

*** A very beautiful film, secret and sensible, serious and playful on the mystery of childhood, its acute sense of observation and its magic plays.
