Future Frames: Generation NEXT of European Cinema 2022 / Warzywa i owoce / Poland 2021
Dorothy and Wojtek, mother and son. Wojtek struggles with obesity and with the fact that every morning his classmates see him get out of an old car filled with vegetables. Dorothy worries about financial difficulties – and about Wojtek… A loving drama about parents and children, about accepting oneself, and about a new dress that can change a lot of things.
It’s difficult to say what Wojtek struggles with more in life: his obesity and the old car stuffed with fruits and vegetables that his mother uses to drive him to school every day, or the classmates who make fun of him because of it. And Wojtek’s mother, who operates a small grocery store, doesn’t seem to notice his troubles. Maybe it’s because she has enough to worry about trying to feed them both. Or perhaps she has no idea how to help her son. One day, all these problems escalate – but there's a surprising solution… A loving drama about an unusual mother-son relationship, about the importance of accepting oneself, and about a new dress that can change a lot of things.
