Fehér Tenyér

dir. Szabolcs Hajdu

Hungary, 2006 - 97

Miklos Dongo is an Olympic gymnast whose career was ended by an injury. He comes to Canada to begin a new life as a coach. He is assigned to train one of Canada’s most gifted young hopefuls. But the young man is vain and volatile and Miklos has difficulty establishing a rapport with him. He finally comes to understand that if he is to establish a working relationship with the young man, he must overcome his own fears and confront his past. Years before, as a boy, he had to endure the agony of daily training sessions, tough military drills, and insults and beating from his coach, who saw only a future world champion, and not a sensitive boy about to enter adulthood. The film is a combination of autobiographical elements and the experiences of the director’s brother, Zoltán Miklós Hajdu, a leading gymnast who also played the main role.

Zdjęcie

dir. Maciej Adamek

Poland, 2007 - 95

SYNOPSIS: The main character of the film is a 16 year old Adam. There are three parallel plots. The main plot is dealing with disintegration of Adam’s family. He is a witness of his parents quarrel where it is insinuated that his dad is not his real (biological) father. His suspicions get deeper when he accidentally finds an old photograph of his pregnant mother with a strange man. In the beginning of summer Adam goes to a youth camp. He doesn’t like it there and runs away. He comes back home very early in the morning to fins his dad in bed with a strange woman, her small child. Unnoticed, he leaves and travels to his grandmother, who works in a cemetery and introduces him to a 50 year old grave digger, Kasimir. Adam starts his quest to find the man accompanying his mom on the photograph. After some time Adam finds out that the man he searches for is Kasimir. When the old grave digger sees the photo he confirms that Adams mom was pregnant with him but the child died soon after birth. From this point, however, he is observing Adam. When Adam returns home, his dad leaves his mother. The second plot goes around Adams friendship with 18 year old Przemek. He is Adams opposite: not shy extravert, his head full of crazy ideas, he often lies. One thing he does not like to mention is his parents. Przemek introduces to Adam the joys of teenage life. Their friendship is disturbed by a 17 year old beauty – Eva. Adam likes her a lot but is too shay to tell her. Przemek does not have barriers of this sort. One day Adams grandma, gets very ill and sends him for medicine. Instead of bringing it he spies on Przemek and Eve. He finds out that Przemek lives in an orphanage. Following a quarrel Przemek beats Adam up. When he gets home his dying grandma is taken to hospital. Adam feels guilty. At the funeral we see all characters of the film. The third important plot of the film is Adams passion – filming. However he doesn’t film people, humans do not interest him at all. Meeting an old photographer he realizes that people are much better subject to film. The camera is also connected to Adam’s fascination with Eve. Once he lends the camera to her. When he gets it back, there is a cassette left in with Eve’s monolog, sort of a love confession. Adam is sure it was recorded for him. Later he finds out that it was meant for her boyfriend. Adam also films his love confession and edits it together with Eve’s, creating a conversation that never happened, but was his dream.
