Let’s meet the main characters. These are attorney Hubert Malecki (Maciej Stuhr), his wife Maja (Agnieszka Grochowska) and two sons: Eryk (Oliwier Grzegorzewski) and Wiktor (Marcel Sikora). There is also Dawid Nowak (Grzegorz Damięcki), Kaj (Borys Bartłomiejczyk), his son from his first marriage, and Nina (Jaśmina Polak), his current partner.
Is Attorney Malecki someone you can sympathize with? I guess it wouldn’t be easy. He is focused on material matters and lacks empathy for other people’s choices (he ridicules vegetarians, thus attacking David, who has just decided to become one), can be conservative in a not-so-good way. Dawid is divorced and it seems that his new, young partner is just a band-aid on a wound that has not yet healed. Nina, his new partner, is much younger than the rest of the company, she is a psychology student and she gives the impression that she belongs to a different generation. There is also Maja, mother and wife. She focused on her family and does everything to convince everyone, including herself, that this is the most important thing to her. He fights for his children when he feels that they are being harmed. When a difficult situation arises, men seem a little helpless in the face of it. So here we have people confronted with difficult parental challenges, faced with a marital crisis, a midlife crisis, when many people do not know how to treat themselves. Are they still young or is it behind them?
The film has an excellent cast, and the children cast in important roles performed their tasks well.
