NOTHING TO BE SCARED OF / A CZEGO TU SIĘ BAĆ?
director: Małgorzata Szumowska screenwriter: Małgorzata Szumowska produced in: 2006 runtime: 39 cinematography: Jacek Drosio editing: Jacek Drosio production: SHOT- -SZUMOWSKI music: Adam Walicki
The inhabitants of one of the Masuria lake district villages talk about the rituals, customs and beliefs connected with death. In an ordinary way, just like about any other matter and, at the same time, with wit and humour. They have already come to terms with death while we in the cities have no time to think about it. Paradoxically, this results in an even greater fear of it coming. ‘Nothing to be scared of’, say the heroes of this moving, but also amusing film.
