Summer 2014 (Poland)
Written, Directed and Produced by Wojciech
Sobczyk
Krakow Short Film Nominee
This short film portrays a pessimistic view
of the human fate, and tells a universal tale of
the world possessed by evil. The same piece of
land is shown multiple times in different scenes.
In the beginning, there is a bloody battle of
swords, axes and spears, followed by plagues
and conflagration. Next, it becomes an arena
of war, uprising and famine, portrayed through
a cemetery wall. After a short while, grains and
grass sprout from the blood-soaked earth. Nature
is reborn, it flourishes and presents itself in its
fullest form: as summer. However, the repetition
is painful and pessimistic, and the world, trapped
in a vicious cycle of evil, is unable to break free.

Sobczyk; Sound Design: Michał Jankowski
