- Australian filmmaker Sophia Turkiewicz investigates why her Polish mother abandoned her and uncovers the truth behind her mother's wartime escape from a Siberian gulag, leaving Sophia to confront her own capacity for forgiveness.
- The Jesuit Order novitiate is a severe form of a trial. During two years of isolation from society and the comforts of civilization, young men have enough time to ponder the question: Is the religious life for me? In this documentary that constantly challenges the boundaries of human faith (and the viewer's suspension of disbelief), we can see, among other things, the first lectures for future clergy. "If you sit in a shack, you will see the fruits in everyday life," says an elderly monk. Wojciech Staron's shots of the desert define the symbolic horizon of the experience of the novices, and the steady rhythm of the musical score immerses us in an aura of meditation.
- Does doctor Jan Terelak belong to an "elitist" group of the most unethical experimenters? The Polish scientist tested boundaries of human mental resilience in extreme conditions of solitude in Antarctica. The starting point for Piotr Jaworski's documentary is the psychologist's journal. The project from forty years ago was focused on studying the mental condition of polar explorers at the Polish station. Men were in the situation of confinement, comparable to a space mission. The film reconstructs these events, referring to the then contemporary context and changes in the perception of science.
