THE ROCKING HORSES
POLISH TITLE: KONIKI NA BIEGUNACH
A touching, warm and painfully accurate portrait of a person with mental disability. We observe the protagonist during her classes and therapies, we learn about her family situation, we get to know what she dreams of and what she does in her everyday life. Animation brings Ewa’s drawings to life and helps us to see the world though her eyes. We may not be able to fully understand her but thanks to Marcin Lesisz’s film we may at least get closer to her. We may realise what kind of problems she faces and notice the person, not the illness; the person who has the right to be who she wants to be.
