“For the story of a family that escapes superficial schemes and the use of a documentary experience to create a moving image of fear, love and merciless suffering” – is the justification of the award to Beata Dzianowicz, awarded during the Young Gala of the 47th Polish Film Festival in Gdynia.
The Pateroks are a loving and multigenerational family. Their lives are peaceful and fun. Suddenly a crack appears in this harmonious reality: grandfather Gerard begins to behave strangely, breaking conventions and social norms. It turns out these are the first symptoms of Alzheimer’s. How do the heroes of the film deal with this diagnosis? The worsening of Gerard’s disease strains family relationships and brings out hidden tensions, secrets and grievances.
The cast of “Strzępów” consists of: Michał Żurawski, Grzegorz Przybył, Agnieszka Radzikowska, Dariusz Chojnacki, Pola Król, Robert Talarczyk, Alina Chechelska, Roman Michalski and Bogumiła Murzyńska. Piotr Pawlus is responsible for the photos and the scenography Agata Adamus and Agnieszka Sośnia, for the costumes by Dorota Roqueplo, and for the music by Mikołaj Piotr Górecki.
– When someone stops distinguishing pen from fork or right from wrong, it becomes really difficult. What is worth betting on then? Is there any good selfishness? Is there any good selfishness worth fighting for, to keep a piece of the world for yourself, to have where to find strength, time …? I don’t know the answers to these questions, so I put them to my heroes, and they face them somehow, sometimes stupidly and sometimes impressive – says Beata Dzianowicz about “Strzępy”.
