Inspired by true events, played by non- professionals. Tymek, a young, talented pianist, student of the Warsaw Academy of Music, returns to his small hometown for a vacation, a place where time has stood still. The central meeting point for local youth is the newly created kebab bar. Tymek witnesses a growing conflict between Arab kebab workers and his colleagues from the neighbourhood. A conflict that will turn out to be tragic. (Venice International Film Festival)

A score performed with devastating precision and a feel for detail. A bit of early Östlund, a bit of Haneke’s mathematical precision, a bit of Malgorzata Szumowska’s lyricism. If the manifestos of the New Intimacy are fencing with each other here: this is how it should look. An uncompromising, devastating debut // a social probe into everyday xenophobia // a drama about what it’s like to return home and be a stranger (to yourself) there. A bit of street rap, a bit of Chopin. I have no idea where a talent like Kocur emerged from, but it’s clear to me that I will be watching his next films with bated breath.
