Please Do Not Sit

Proszę nie siadać
dir. Piotr Małecki/Poland/2026/60 min

Wojciech Plewiński, an eminent photographer, is preparing an exhibition by traveling in the footsteps of his own work. He is accompanied by his wife Anna, son Maciek, and curator Katarzyna. The journey to places in Poland such as the Studio Theatre, Nowa Huta, Kalatówki, Lake Rożnów, or the Biebrza wetlands becomes a pretext for reminiscence, analysis of his art, and confronting the past. Despite his advanced age, Wojciech impresses with his fitness and humor. However, family trips are not only about nostalgia but also a time for difficult reckonings. Wojciech admits to neglecting his son during his childhood. Nevertheless, the time spent with loved ones allows them to rebuild closeness. The success of the exhibition opening confirms that Plewiński's work continues to captivate new generations. It is a warm portrait of an artist who observes the world with undiminished passion and his loved ones by his side.
