ROMANTIK
Stanislaw (40) takes his beloved Zosia on a mysterious and romantic journey. He wants to propose to her in the city of love. Stanislav doesn’t expect that it will be the most horrible night of his life, and his well planned trip will go much further than he anticipated. It’s a short story kept in a tragicomic tone that we don’t lead our fate, even when we believe that we reached the best moment in our life.
