Winner of three prizes at the Berlin Film Festival and Poland's 2003 Oscar contender this film belongs to Henryk Golebiewski as Eddie. It's difficult to believe that this wizened, goblin-faced man really isn't homeless in a grim, ruthless modern-day Poland. As his powerfully persuasive performance takes centre stage, the plot moves inexorably towards Eddie's climactic moral decision—a sobering dignified act of unexpectedly moving self-sacrifice.
