THE DAYS OF TRANSFORMATION

POLISH TITLE: DNI PRZEMIANY

Frydrychowice is an agricultural village in Wieprz commune near Krakow. 50-year-old Krzysztof Szczur leads an orderly life of a school caretaker until he is appointed the head of the local committee for World Youth Day. Several hundred Brazilians are going to stay in his village. Together with the village community, Krzysztof has to prepare to welcome the unusual guests from across the world. The topic of this humorous, observational documentary is not only the clash of the cultures but also interpersonal solidarity, unaffected by the country of birth, language or skin colour.
