Travelling

Poland, 2015, 24 Min

Justyna lives together with her mother, a supermarket cashier, in a high-rise residential building. The adolescent girl yearns for recognition and novel experiences, and takes to hanging out with a beautiful neighbour, who with her boyfriend and sports car would appear to have it all. Not everything that glitters is gold however...

Home is a high-rise residential building in the suburbs of Gdynia. All in all, the situation's slowly growing unacceptable to young Justyna. Something has to change. She wants respect, and what's more simply to be able to treat herself now and again. Impossible given her mother's modest salary, Justyna stumbles across some lipstick, which in turn leads to an acquaintance with her new neighbour Edyta, textbook good looks, handsome boyfriend and all. A triangular relationship evolves that centres around the need for intimacy that can only remain unfulfilled in the empty world that exists behind the glitter of beauty and cosmetics. An engaging example of modern social realism. JG
