Jeden Dzień w PRL plot
Poland in the 1960s. Judging by official news reports and personal archives, it is an apparently banal and happy country. People work, move, get married. Life runs smoothly, without drama or problems. But the all-too-smooth images are disturbed by voices: police reports, snatch messages, calls for freedom. The radio archives add a dimension of fear, obsessive control, passivity and resistance. Everyday events are no longer innocent, but are the trigger or follow-up to an arrest, pursuit or report. Banality makes way for an underground, painful, absurd and ice-cold reality.
