TWO SHORES
‘Anna Maria has a sad face, Anna Maria is looking ahead’, these lyrics of Czerwone Gitary’s ballad accompany the protagonist, who arrives at New York to deal with the emptiness left after her father who has been absent for many years. New facts about his life on emigration make Anna confront her past. Different variants of the same scenario, i.e. a child left behind by an emigrating parent, could be seen among many Polish families in the communist era. These stories go beyond the boundaries of one state or time period. ‘Two Shores’ takes on a poetic flavour. In a subtle way, it touches upon what is the most painful and what shapes us. The film is not devoid of an intriguing, almost documentary, observation of the streets of the metropolis, a melting pot of many cultures and stories. Simple, subtle and honest cinema.
