Moja Krew

My Flesh My Blood

Marcin Wrona
Poland, 2009, 92 Min

A fighter and a foreign encounter: thuggish boxer Igor doesn't have much time left to live. Repeated blows to the head over the years have left behind severe brain damage. With no time to waste, Igor's thoughts come to be dominated by the idea of having a son: when he encounters an illegal migrant worker from Vietnam, he sees his chance.

Igor refuses to undergo an operation that could potentially prolong his life, preferring not to expose himself to the associated risks. Instead he dives headfirst into a tumultuous nightlife of sex, drugs and recurring violence. Though he has few friends and no partner to speak of, his last wish is to have a successor who might inherit his accumulated riches. He promises to settle illegal immigrant Yến Hà's status in return for a child. A loving relationship evolves between the two despite Igor's aggressive behaviour and Yến Hà's distant attitude, at which point Igor's condition deteriorates dramatically.

An existentialist drama on birth, love and death in which both protagonists find themselves trapped, with the lonely bleakness of terminal illness on the one hand, the withdrawn existence of a Vietnamese immigrant on the other. WMH
