“The Mandala” and “Mom Is Coming Back” in Competition of the Freedom Film Festival in Poland

Awarded recently for the best cinematography in Koszalin, “The Mandala” in a thriller convention tells a story of a mother and son struggling with a loss.

“Mom Is Coming Back” – a documentary short – tries to answer questions like whether it is possible to journey in place, and if one can replace the Himalayan amplitude with the Beskidian hills. Ever since Weronika was born – suffering from cerebral palsy, her mother Weronika struggles with these questions attempting to continue her previous passions in a new life with her daughter.
