MUKA!, directed by Kordian Kądziela, WRiTV, Poland, 2012, 27’ – Audience Award
Józef is forty years old and has few reasons to greet each morning with a smile on his face. He has had loads of women but no friends at all. His living space is limited to three square metres. Muka! is a bitter-sweet narrative based on select motifs of Franz Kafka’s “Trial” as well as on the life experience of Piotr K., a Pole living in Racławice Śląskie in the Opole region.
