About This Movie

Dzieci śmieci is a curious piece from 1989, steeped in its own kind of gritty realism. The story follows Witek, a young man with dreams of escaping to Great Britain. To fund his aspirations, he starts selling old newspapers, which is both a practical choice and a reflection of his circumstances. The film's tone is quite somber, almost melancholic, often balancing moments of hope with stark reality. There's a rawness to the performances that feels very honest, though the director remains unknown, which adds a layer of mystery. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to really sit with Witek's struggles. It’s a solid example of late '80s drama, capturing the essence of a time and place that feels both distant and strangely relatable.
