Piatek Jakub
Mother
Tables screwed to the floor. One hour that must suffice for two weeks, sometimes even a month: the visiting room of a Polish jail. On one side: husbands, sons, fathers; on the opposite: children, wives, mothers. The film depicts the world of a mother who comes to visit her son: her devotion, her solitude, and her constant waiting.
A student at the Polish National School of Film, Television and Theater in Łódź. Before he started studying directing, he worked as a journalist and culture manager. While studying he produced the documentary meditation When You Return (2006), the short feature films Uninhabited House (2007) and 350km (2009), and short documentary Carousel guys (2008). His debut Mother was produced by the Andrzej Wajda Master School of Film Directing as part of the ‘First document’ program.
