Forever & Ever
Forever and ever – a big promise for all relationships, but what does it take for one to last forever? How to you stay faithful to yourself and true to the other? How can a partnership continue for a lifetime? The films in this program deal with these relationships at their most strenuous times. We meet friends, families and couples at moments where both parties want different things and seem to live in their own little worlds, but being without the other is no option either.
Good Friends

Więzi
Forty five years of marriage is an impressive anniversary. Barbara and Zdzisław could be proud of themselves if not for the fact that the husband left the wife for his lover eight years ago. But now they are together again, although Barbara claims that if it were not for his infirm legs, Zdzisław would still be chasing skirts around Kraków. Despite the past resentment, everyday problems with paying bills, an occupied bathroom and rearranging furniture, they have a hard to define bond.
