Anna Zamecka - Poland / 2016 / 73’ mts
When adults are ineffectual, children have to grow up quickly. Ola is 14 and she takes
care of her father, autistic brother and a mother who lives apart from them Most of all
she tries to reunite the family. She lives in the hope of bringing her mother back home.
Her 13-year-old brother, Nikodem’s Holy Communion, is a pretext for the family to
meet up. Ola is entirely responsible for preparing the perfect family celebration.
Communion reveals the beauty of the rejected, the strength of the weak and the need
for change, when change seems impossible. This crash course in growing up teaches
us that no failure is final. Especially when love is in question.
