Las
Weary of life, Grumpy (Mruk) leaves the real world and enters the realm of dreams to find a path through the Forest. His companion in this is The Little Girl (Dziewczynka) - his guide, or perhaps the personification of his yearning. In a world where women are devoured by horses and the pace of one’s walk is measured by a snail, each decision becomes a question about the very nature of what's being decided. This is a full length début from Joanna Zastróżna.
