The Singing Napkin
Mariusz Grzegorzek
2015, 1 h 31 minThe first feature-length film in the history of Polish artistic
education system that is a diploma of the fourth-year students of the
Acting Department of the Łódź Film School. The film consists of four
independent parts: Kazan about a painful initiation process;
Narkolovestory about an escape into drugs and about love which makes it
possible to survive the worst; Pancakes (with sugar) about the effort of
being parents under the pressure of reality; The Singing Napkin about
the power of love – a visionary, poetic adaptation of a Greek fable.
The
parts are joined by means of documentary fragments of the auditions and
a frenetic surreal dance finale, inspired by Bollywood cinema.
