A Man Thing – Polish Film Festival

"A Man Thing" is a black-and-white film about growing up in a ruthless, cruel adult world and a desperate rebellion against it. This twenty-six-minute story is made up from the beginning to the end, however, it is more convincing than most films shot with a candid camera. The authors fitted violence, poverty, humiliation, pain and even a shadow of death into this short story. But it also includes the joy of playing at a pitch together, the forbidden pleasure of smoking in a school toilet, there is hunger for friendship and love.
