Piggies
Drama
Tomek is 14 and a good student. He's interested in astronomy and plays football to please his father. The only thing is, he lives in a poor little border town plagued by unemployment, whereas across the river lies Germany with all its relative affluence. Tomek meets Marta at a disco and falls in love with her. He starts to think up ways of earning money in order to keep her interested. He approaches a pimp who seeks out local boys for his German clients. Tomek has no idea of the brutal fate which awaits him.
VIBE
A stark, unflinching look at youthful desperation in a forgotten town. It's a raw, often uncomfortable, but ultimately human portrayal of difficult choices and the search for escape.
