THE END OF THE HOLIDAY

Category: Edition 2005

Synopsis

Last day of a school year. Fourteen years old Jurek helps his old teacher who is passed out. He is also a witness of an aggression against his class-mate, who doesn’t want to tell the names of his persecutors. Further more, on the same day, Jurek’s mother leaves home and father doesn’t want to tell him why. The summer becomes the time of his initiation. Jurek has to grow up – face serious problems, make mature decisions and go through his first, unanticipated love.
