King Matt the First

In this enchanting journey into the inner world of children, the director Jasmina Wójcik gives voice to her young daughters. The world of sisters Zoja and Lea is filled with shared games, discoveries, and conversations, alongside their daily squabbles and disagreements. Initially, the girls, who bear a striking resemblance to one another, seem to share an extraordinary bond of sisterhood. However, as time passes, the older sister, Zoja, begins to grow apart from Lea. Despite their differences, both girls share a deep-seated fear of crossing the threshold into adulthood. They observe how adults seem indifferent to the destruction of their world, ignoring environmental catastrophes and fueling war conflicts.

The film invites us to dive into and contemplate a realm unbound by adult hierarchies and constraints. What can children teach us if we simply listen to their words?
