THE BIRCH WOOD (Brzezina)

Nature as a mirror of emotional states that slowly reveal themselves to the outside world: two brothers meet again after a long time. Marked by illness and loss, a quiet dialogue unfolds about closeness and repression, joie de vivre and resignation – only the end is inevitable. Wajda's most restrained work, and perhaps also his most emotionally powerful.
