Tulips

(Tulipany)

What starts as a film about the relationship between a father and a son, soon turns into a film about three old men and the son of one of them. Dzieciak is the son of experienced racing driver Mały. When his father ends up in the hospital because of a heart attack, he gathers his father’s friends Lolek and Matka to discuss what needs to be done. The two men without a son both long for a family; one of them will get married while the other reveals a secret about the reasons for his bachelor state.
Certain events make them think about the inevitable. They ponder over their lives, make maybe their last and most important decisions, try to achieve unaccomplished goals. A slightly sentimental, but at the same time optimistic tale of passion for life and acceptance of life going by. The background story makes an idealistic sphere of the highest values.
