Do you believe in coincidences? Do we meet each other for a reason? Is there anything like fate, predestined and prewritten for each and everyone, which makes it impossible to change it and act on your own? Or can we be masters of our own destiny? Do tragedies happen for a reason? Can heartbreaking losses be the ground for happiness in the future? How connected are we to each other in the smallness of the world and how easily worlds are broken apart and miraculously started anew? A few people connected by one tragedy. Life Itself. Enjoy.
You're really lucky when from day one everything was clear. Your sex, your body, your sexual orientation. But many of us question it every single day, which in the clouds of doubts, makes us even more human. But how difficult is the journey of self-acceptance in a competitive female environment when you were born a boy? What challenges face parents and families of transsexual children? How hurtful are the words of peers who know little about changing sex? How tricky is to transform one's body and build sexual relations, not being afraid of rejection? Educational and eye-opening, Girl.
Aren't you tired of the stories of pedophilia, corruption, and sexual exploitation? We all know that in any organization, especially based on abstinence and complete devotion to religion, some nasty scandals will pop up now and again. But aren't we all somehow connected to religion? Weren't we all praying to God in times of trouble? Don't we need some sense of community and belonging? This is what the Church should stand for. Sometimes vocation finds itself in the most unlikely individuals. What if a troubled boy deceived everybody and pretended to be a priest? Can he save a small town sunk in grief and hypocrisy? Can he be a better human than those given the privilege and respect? Very true, Boże Ciało.
Power. At times it's a well-deserved prize for years-long process and achievements. At other times it's the outcome of circumstances, sudden deaths, unexpected coincidences, and hidden decisions. It comes out of the blue and to the young, it might be equally burdensome and unwanted. Can wisdom and good intentions make you a great ruler? Can other people's decisions evoke true love and true wisdom in those at first unwilling to accept them? Is there a just cause for death and war? And is there really something like a good rule or everything is a cover for greed, individual gain, and national and religious prejudice? Two films thirty years apart, two young people by circumstances forced to be the head of the country. Enjoy.
