KONIKI NA BIEGUNACH
In order to work through traumas and a grief-filled relationship with her mother, mentally disabled Ewa creates puppets and weaves fairytale stories drawing on her non-fairy biography. The animated sequences give an insight into her rich imagination and her way of looking at her illness.
