Sparrow, dir. Tomasz Gąssowski, Poland 2024, 106’
With English subtitles
Remek Wróbel is a mailman and an enthusiastic member of an amateur football team. He’s pushing on forty, living the life of a bachelor. He’s passionately studying the encyclopaedia, training his extraordinary memory. He has only one friend, Pedro, an enterprising character engaged in a shady business. There is no one else in his life. And that’s the way he likes it. One day, everything changes – his neat, tidy life is turned upside down by the appearance of Marzenka, his new chatty neighbour and grandpa, whom he hadn’t met before. Remek will have to learn how to make lemonade when life gives you lemons.
