HERE FOR YOU
POLISH TITLE: JESTEM
Bartek’s mother would like to prepare her son for the worst and at the same time the inevitable, i.e. her own death. She secures his financial and legal future, teaches him what to do when the time comes. And although the boy with trisomy is an attentive listener, completely different thoughts have absorbed his mind and his heart. He has just met a wonderful girl and fell in love for the first time. With tenderness and a tad of subtle, sometimes even black, humour, the film depicts the need of love, intimacy and closeness experienced by persons with Down syndrome. Subtle cinema, full of hope and excellent acting, both on the part of Katarzyna Figura, a famous Polish star, and young actors exhibiting charming honesty and naturalness.
