Droga

He is always ready to solve the problems of others, although he is usually not very good at it. His favorite saying is “absolutely”.

Nights and Days
A family saga of Barbara Ostrzeńska-Niechcic and Bogumił Niechcic against the backdrop of the January Uprising of 1863 and World War I. The film is a rather straightforward and faithful adaptation of a novel by Maria Dabrowska with the same title.
