Movie description:
Six-year-old Stefek challenges fate. He believes that the chain of events he sets in motion will help him get closer to his father who abandoned his mother. His sister Elka, 17, helps him learn how to »bribe« fate with small sacrifices. Tricks and coincidences eventually bring the father to the mother’s doorstep but things go wrong. In despair Stefek tries his good luck with the most risky of his tricks.During the long summer holidays, six-year-old Stefek follows his 17-year-old sister Elka as she works by evening in a bar and prepares for her job interview with a large international company. One day, at the railway station, they see a man who Stefek suspects may be the father who abandoned him at birth. Stefek and Elka have developed a life in which they believe that »tricks« or games can influence the course of events. Stefek embarks on a new sequence of games of chance in which he hopes to win back his lost father, turning up at the station every day and attempting to prolong their encounters.
Andrzej Jakimowski’s second feature film is a real charmer, conjuring up sunny days and a world of provincial childhood that is both nostalgic and evocative. Using non-actors (although two appeared in his previous film, Squint Your Eyes) the film is above all that of a born filmmaker, for whom script and direction form a coherent whole, where the story and focus of individual scenes proceed with a seeming inevitability.
