Gwiezdny pył

Far from the big city lights and noise lives a middle-aged couple. He is an inventor, the only problem is that he works on things that have already been invented. This doesn't discourage him, because what matters to him is his beloved woman's appreciation. The couple leads a quiet life, among wild nature and their pets. "Stardust" was shot in Gzowo, where Andrzej Kondratiuk and Iga Cembrzyńska moved in the mid-1970s. The village was not only their home, but also a creative nest – most of Kondratiuk's late works were filmed there. "The Gzowo films show a contemplative attitude towards the world, a special way of living through passing time. Aesthetically sophisticated, yet ennobling everyday life. Kondratiuk finds joy in filming the beauty of the world, but his films are full of bitterness flowing from the very essence of existence. His characters rebel against the passage of time, the cruelty of nature, the insignificance of their own being, only to eventually accept this state. An important weapon in this struggle is the saving – albeit limited – power of art", wrote film expert Ewa Nawój on the culture.pl website. (Warsaw Film Festival)
