THE ACCIDENT
POLISH TITLE: WYPADEK
In 2008, two well-known automotive journalists, Jarosław Zabiega and Maciej Zientarski, had a serious car accident. The first died on the spot, the other was badly injured, miraculously survived, and then he was charged with accidental killing of his colleague. The documentary shows the long process of Maciej’s reconciliation with the new situation where he, who was recognized by everyone just a while ago, has now become persona non grata. Supported by Magda, his girlfriend, he is trying to get back to normal life.
