Such Miracles Do Happen / Takie cuda się zdarzają / Taki čudeži se le dogajajo

Barbara Rupik (Film School Lodz)

2022, Poland, 14'

One day, all the statues in the area come to life. They leave the roadside shrines and pedestals and calmly set off straight ahead, all in the same direction. They do not even stop for a moment. People watch the phenomenon with growing anxiety.

Nekega dne oživijo vsi kipi v areni. Zapustijo obcestne hramove in piedestale in se mirno odpravijo naprej, vsi v isto smer. Niti za trenutek se ne ustavijo. Ljudje opazujejo ta fenomen s čedalje večjo anksioznostjo.
