Scenes From The Life of a Man

An unusual film with an unusual protagonist – a man deprived of both hands but able to perform almost all daily activities on his own. We see that Jerzy Orłowski is not only skillful with a door key or lighting a cigarette, but also skis, swims, and draws with real artistry. All this is told without a single word, solely through evocative images, accompanied only by isolated sound effects and the hero's whistling. A restrained and at the same time poignant film by Bogdan Dziworski – one of the most outstanding filmmakers associated with the Educational Films Studio (WFDK), with excellent cinematography by Krzysztof Ptak.
