DEER BOY
This short story about an odd combination of love and hatred begins with the birth of a son of a hunter (Janusz Chabior). The boy is born with little bumps which are later transformed into wide-spreading antlers, due to which the child resembles a deer. A surreal and perverse vision of the world told without any words in which “everyone kills what they love”, the film is also an evocative statement on hunting and on the relationship between man and nature.
