THE REFUGE CITY
POLISH TITLE: MIASTO UCIECZKI
Tomek, an ardent fan of Widzew football team, delivers an ultimatum to the world: either his team remains in the first division or he will mete out justice by himself – killing a man. Kacper, his close friend, is not so radical. On 8 May 2004 Widzew lost the match with ŁKS and moved down to the second division. During aftermatch riots one of Widzew fans died… The film study has been made under the patronage of Andrzej Bednarek and Robert Gliński (script).
