A horrendous accident leaves Jacek completely disfigured. Going through reconstructive surgery, he returns to his community, unrecognizable both to his entourage and to himself. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at this year’s Berlin International Film Festival, this powerful drama masterfully manages to mix robust realism with a streak of fantasy comedy.

As part of ArteKino Festival, an online festival presented by Arte and Festival Scope offering a selection of films to watch for free from 1 to 31 December.
