WEEKEND

Portrait

On a sunny Saturday, Kazimierz heads out into nature with Olenka. The music is lively, the first words of this initial encounter accompany the harmonious images of a happy relationship. But both Kazimierz, played by Machulski’s father, and young Olenka are harbouring their own secrets. At just twelve minutes, the film packs an impressive dramatic punch, portraying various aspects of a petty bourgeois double standard with a sober, unemotional touch.
