The film is bland, a runaway child, a child of Polish immigrants. The two met by chance, became good friends, and fell in love with a French woman at the same time. The story is about such a very bland thing, which reminds me of "April Story", it is only about an hour, the same bland story, but it can penetrate deep into people's hearts, like a cup of light fragrant tea, let you Long aftertaste.
TOMO is very naughty, MAREK is very shy, they are all beautiful images of childhood.
When the movie starts, they are all alone. TOMO ran away from home to a strange city, asked adults to help buy wine, and sat in the corner of the city to sip alone at night. MAREK accompanied his father to leave his hometown and came to the town. He had no friends or partners. At night, he took a camera and went to every corner of the town to take pictures. So, they met, MAREK brought TOMO home, and the two became partners.
They stole clothes together, worked for the fat man downstairs together, liked Maria together, showed their speciality in front of her, and carefully prepared a "special car" for her to take her home. They were sad when Maria left without saying goodbye and blamed her for leaving without a word. They learn from adults to drink and go wild. All these trivial things, shown in black and white and shaking pictures, feel more intimate and real.
Everything in black and white, telling you that the story seems to be covered in dust, now take it out and let you remember where it started. Two children, one who ran away from home and the other who could "do nothing" during the day because of his father's work. They chatted on the balcony, walked through every corner of the town, did bad things, prepared a "surprise" for Maria with an abandoned wheelchair, and were sad for Maria's death without saying goodbye. Then Marek's father came back while they were drunk and interrupted their "orgies".
At this point, the movie interrupts everything that the two kids had with Maria. TOMO was chased away by Marek's father, Marek had a big fight with his father. In the morning, the fat man took in TOMO, and MAREK's father had an exchange with MAREK. TOMO promised Fatty to work for him, MAREK packed the house and waited for his father to get off work. Everything seems to be back to normal. That drunken night also went away with sober up.
The two children came to the balcony together, and they looked at the station not far away in the sun. At this time TOMO told MAREK that they could save money and do a weekend trip on the weekend. To look outside, to look into the distance. Maybe they could easily find Maria in Paris, TOMO said. Then TOMO said he was going back to work and MAREK said he was going to stay on the balcony.
I thought the movie would end here, but the shaking scene suddenly took on color, the train set off with two children, and Maria also appeared in the crowded crowd in Paris. The Eiffel Tower, the winter sun, they kiss Maria together. This kind of ending makes the faint sadness in your heart lightly shattered, and you suddenly realize that life is so beautiful. In the colorful shaking lens, the smiles of the two children are so bright that you unconsciously laughed along with them. .
It's like a summer vacation when you were a child, a good friend who suddenly appeared and spent a wonderful summer with you, but at the end of the summer you found out that he was leaving. But at the end of the fall, you meet him again, and you are together again.
There are also many interesting places in the movie. Marek and his father take turns reading articles about sex in the newspaper to each other; the fat man puts Marek into an Arsenal jersey to cover his original Manchester United jersey, saying that it can ensure his safety; TOMO knows Marek After that, I started to wear women's clothes; because I didn't want my father to know that TOMO was at home, MAREK asked TOMO to pull the stool in a plastic bag; the two children rented a chair for the fat man; TOMO asked "Where am I?" After he woke up, the fat man was wearing TOMO Clothes stolen from laundromats replied "Barbados".
