My Name Is War
A collage of seemingly ordinary stories of ordinary children. Just seemingly – they are the children of war, its grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. We meet Włodek, a young Warsaw insurgent, Ursula – a German girl, whose dad died during the World War I, or the Blue Boy that fought on Maidan in 2014. They are united by the fear for their own tomorrow. Is it how it is supposed to be? Do they have to become the victims of the games of adults?

Amor Omnia Vincit
A story about the life of Hans Christian Andersen, talking about complex marriage relations , exposing the dark corners of human desires, among which there are anxiety, ruthlessness, and lack of love. A story about the man, whose fairy tales are known by everyone, but hardly anyone knows, how fascinating and intricate was his personal life.
