Arek.Mama.Panorama
An overprotective mother, a silent father, and a creative block - Arek Pasożyt is really having an uphill battle. Looking for inspiration, he goes to the Tatra Mountains. There, he picks up a trail of the painting ‘Panorama Tatr’ - the biggest painting ever created in Poland, which went missing 130 years ago. Arek decides to find the painting, but constant phone calls from her mother worrying that he might forget to eat his dinner do not make the mission any easier. Will the journey that takes him through villages in Podhale and mountain ridges let him climb up to the top to heal both himself and his family relations?
