Invitations and tickets
Warsaw, 1939. Six-year-old Jasia lives in the imaginative world of the books created by her aunt Franciszka and uncle Stefan Themerson, dreaming of Paris. The outbreak of war shatters her childhood and fractures the world she knows. The film presents war as an experience of radical disintegration - a rupture of language, meaning, and reality itself. Seen through the perspective of a child and two artists, it explores innocence, love, and artistic creation as forms of resistance to violence and as a space for preserving human dignity.
Moderators:

Krystyna Weiher-Sitkiewicz – film educator, discussion moderator, anthropologist and exhibition curator. Curator at the Ethnography Department of the National Museum in Gdańsk.
