The Welts

Wojciech Winkler, an experienced journalist and cave explorer, grapples with a traumatic childhood marked by the violence of a harsh father. His encounter with the patient and sensitive Tania allows him to open up to love and emotional intimacy. The film’s finale symbolically intertwines the death of his father with the birth of his own child, highlighting the power of generational bonds and the process of coming to terms with the past. This psychological drama about a man’s journey toward fatherhood, directed by Magdalena Piekorz, is based on a screenplay by Wojciech Kuczok, the writer, and his story "Dioboł."
