Such a Landscape

Taki pejzaż
Poland 2013 / 23’

A miracle, satisfaction, regret, prayer, forgiveness – these are the five stages that we are supposed to experience before death so as not to be afraid. After all, every one of us can teach someone how to die in peace… This is a poetic compilation of unrelated stories that are based on true events. In awarding the film a Golden Tadpole, Caleb Deschanel said that it was a beautifully told series of visual poems that plunge into a deep and important mystery.
