PRZED ŚWITEM
BEFORE DAWN
Łukasz Borowski / Poland / 2016 / 27 min / Colour
Italian premiere
Father and son depart on a voyage in an off-road vehicle through the Albanian mountains. The first has a past as a boxer, the second wants to devote himself to a promising career as a hairdresser and make-up artist. Everything about them seems in opposition, but this forced closeness leads them to face the difficulties of the trip together. The pungent and predictable initial bickering gives way to a deepening of their relationship that has evolved, and is transformed into a sincere bond of reciprocal esteem and respect between adults, that goes far beyond the exterior differences.
