'JOANNA' WITH HONORABLE MENTION IN CLEVELAND

This year, the 39th edition of the International Film Festival in Cleveland was held. This is one of the five most important film reviews in the USA.

Joanna - the eponymous protagonist of the documentary - relishes every moment in spite of being diagnosed with a serious illness. She promised her son that she would do anything to be with him as long as possible. She does not give up. For Jaś, she writes a blog in which she describes their everyday life - in a simple and accurate way. The blog itself inspires many readers to attentive, happy life. The film shows fragments from the life of Joanna, her husband Piotr and son Jaś. Played in discrete observations, atmospheric, often even funny. The film is simple and sensual, it tells about looking on life and about love.
